MONTREAL, Canada -- Two people were killed and six others wounded late Saturday in a shooting in the parking lot of a reception venue in Ottawa, authorities said.
Two weddings were taking place at the venue when gunfire erupted outside, sending shocked guests scrambling for safety.
"It was rapid shots, and then there was screaming, and then there was a pause, and then there were more shots, probably like 15-16 more shots that I can recall," Nico said. Police said that Americans were among the six wounded but that their lives were not in danger. Their identities were not released.
He said police had no sign for now to suggest the shooting was a hate crime"related to race or religious beliefs."
