Police on Montreal’s South Shore say they’ve arrested a teenager who allegedly threatened officers in the wake of the police shooting of a 15-year-old last weekend.
The arrest of the suspect, also 15 years old, comes hours after police said they had opened an investigation into threats against the force following the killing of Nooran Rezayi on Sunday in Longueuil, Que.
Police say the suspect was released under conditions and that his alleged threats were linked to the death of Rezayi, whose funeral was held today in the neighbouring community of Brossard.
