Police are on the scene of a shooting at a Montreal college, where at least four people have reportedly been injured, two critically.
Students at Dawson College told reporters they heard several shots in the building at around lunchtime.
Eyewitnesses say they saw a tall skinny man wearing a black trenchcoat, with a mohawk haircut walk into the cafeteria carrying a large gun. He apparently fired several shots.
Alexandra Nadeau is a student at Dawson College. She was in class when she says she heard noises that sounded like gunshots.
She says she got up and went to the door. "I saw panic in the hallway", Nadeau told a Montreal television station. "People were running down the starts outside.
Another student told a local radio station that she saw two people who had been shot, including one who had been hit in the neck.
The student said a friend told her four people had been shot.
Hundreds of students have fled the building, and the area has been cordoned off. Police officers wearing bullet-proof vests are keeping people away from the college.
"They're telling me, 'Go the other way, lady, you're in the line of fire,'" said CBC News reporter Nancy Wood, who is reporting from the scene.
Montreal police confirm that there is at least one suspect they say has been "neutralised". Television images showed police officers dragging a bloody body out of the main doors of the building.
Hundreds of police officers have surrounded the building in downtown Montreal. They've cordoned off a park facing the school, as well as the Alexis Nihon Plaza, a nearby shopping centre.
