At least four people have been killed in a shooting in an eastern Canadian city Friday morning — and one suspect is in custody, according to police and news reports.

Local resident Robert DiDiodato told CBC he heard a series of “firecracker” sounds.
“With the tempo, it might’ve been a gunshot,” he told the outlet. “It was sort of like a pop, pop, pop, pop.”

“Doors are locked and everybody’s inside,” he said.
About 20 minutes later, police tweeted that one suspect is in custody, but urged locals to avoid the area as the investigation is ongoing.
