Police say officers were called to a building on Rue Laurier shortly before 2 a.m. for a wellness check when they discovered signs of a fire inside one of the units. Firefighters were called to the scene as smoke alarms woke residents throughout the 16-storey building, forcing dozens to evacuate into the night. Authorities say two people were found unconscious inside a fourth-floor apartment and were pronounced dead at the scene. Residents described a frightening scene as smoke filled stairwells and emergency crews surrounded the building. Many tenants waited outside for hours before being allowed back inside, while others displaced by the fire received assistance from the Red Cross. The tragedy has sparked emotional reactions across the region, with officials and community members speaking out about violence against women and the ongoing issue of domestic violence in Canada. Gatineau Mayor Maude Marquis-Bissonnette called the incident โ€œdeeply upsettingโ€ and described violence against women as โ€œa scourge,โ€ while Quebec officials also shared condolences and called for stronger prevention and intervention efforts. Police say the investigation remains ongoing and additional details are not being released at this time out of respect for the families involved. Our prayers to everyone involved and affected ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ . . . . ๐Ÿ“ธ: CTV & CBC Ottawa *If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence or is in immediate danger, contact local authorities or support resources available in your area.
