A recent ruling by a mental health review board said the man suspected of randomly shooting dead three people in the Montreal area this week represented a “significant risk” to public safety.

Police killed the 26-year-old suspect, Abdulla Shaikh, Thursday morning in a motel room, after he had allegedly shot dead three men in a roughly 24-hour period.
