Shooting at Montreal-area Starbucks tied to organized crime, minister says

Quebec's public security minister says authorities believe organized crime was behind a shooting at a Montreal-area Starbucks.

Ian Lafreniere says three people were shot around 10:30 a.m. at the Starbucks location in Laval, Que. On social media, Lafreniere said ``all indications'' point to the shooting being tied to organized crime.

Quebec provincial police have taken over the investigation from Laval police.

During a news conference, provincial police said the shooting could be tied to organized crime but wouldn't confirm.

Police have set up a security perimeter in the area of the shooting, which occurred at a commercial plaza.
