In the span of a few sudden moments at a Montreal hotel, a man armed with a long gun transformed a public gathering place into a scene of irreversible loss. A police officer responding to the threat was killed before fellow officers ended the confrontation by fatally shooting the suspect. The city is left, as cities so often are after such eruptions, holding grief in one hand and unanswered questions in the other — searching for the thread of warning that may or may not have existed.
