An OPP officer has been killed with two others injured after a shooting Thursday morning east of Ottawa.
Police were called to a home on Laval Street in Bourget, about 50kms east of Ottawa just after 2am after reports of someone hearing a gunshot.
When the three officers arrived, they were shot at by someone inside the home.
The officers were taken to a hospital in Ottawa with OPP Sergeant Eric Mueller killed in the line of duty says OPP Commissioner Thomas Carrique.
The extent of the other injured police is not known but they are recovering.
One person has been taken into custody.
It is with an extremely heavy heart that I regretfully advise that OPP Sgt. Eric Mueller has been killed in the line of duty. We anxiously await for further word on his fellow officers who are still at hospital. Our thoughts are with the officers, their families and colleagues.
