Quebec's police watchdog investigates after police fatally shot a 15-year-old following a 911 report; no firearm was found on the teen, officials said.
- On Sunday afternoon, Longueuil police shot and killed a 15-year-old boy in a quiet suburban neighbourhood about two kilometres from Andr�-Laurendeau high school.
- The BEI, Quebec's police watchdog, has been assigned five investigators with Montreal police help after officers responded roughly 10 minutes following a 911 call reporting armed individuals.
- Investigators seized a baseball bat, backpack and ski masks and reported no sharp-edged weapons, while the only firearm seized came from the officer who shot the teen.
- Grieving family members and friends spoke publicly and called for accountability, with Sharif Rezay, Nooran's father, telling reporters `We need justice,` while police have not formally identified the victim though the local school service centre confirmed he was a student.
- The BEI has interviewed about 15 witnesses, including adults and teenagers, but has not met all youths present, while witness Johnny Inthisone said the shooting happened `in two seconds, not even,` and police fired `far too quickly.
