From Global News.

A family that was caught in a shootout between Montreal police and an armed suspect last year is suing the police force and the city.

Houssam Abdallah and his family members allege the officers acted negligently and recklessly towards them, causing lasting physical and mental impacts.

Lawyer Virginie Dufresne-Lemire says Abdallah was shot six times and his son was shot once during a shootout between police and a 26-year-old suspect in August 2024.

The family says Abdallah and his son were left on the ground without medical care for at least an hour and were eventually handcuffed. Felicia Parrillo reports.
