SAINT-JEAN-SUR-RICHELIEU, Que. — Quebec’s police watchdog is investigating after officers shot and killed a man south of Montreal before finding a woman and a teenager seriously injured inside his home.

The independent police oversight agency — the Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes — says a man called 911 around 2 a.m. today and said he had done something irreparable.

Police in the city of St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, about 40 kilometres southeast of Montreal, arrived to the man’s home and allegedly found him armed with a knife.

The watchdog says the 48-year-old man was shot with at least one bullet and died in hospital.

It says police found a woman and a teenager inside the home, who were transported to hospital with serious injuries.
