It has been reported Police are firing on rioters with Rubber bullets, as bystanders cheer on the rioters as they run the streets, with the Police getting injured in pursuit dodging everything rioters can throw at them.

The mother of an 18-year-old shot and killed by a police officer in broad daylight is demanding explanations from the Montreal police force.

But people in the neighbourhood where Fredy Villenueva was fatally wounded weren't waiting for explanations late Sunday night.

Their fury erupted into a riot in Montreal North, with knots of protesters roaming the streets and setting fire to cars and garbage barricades.

The Montreal riot police squad was called out, and hundreds of officers formed a perimeter four or five blocks away from the Ground Zero at Rolland Blvd. and Pascal St. Rioters vandalized the local fire station and set several cars outside ablaze.

The fire station was evacuated. A building near the fire station and community centre burst into flames shortly after 11. Onlookers cheered as a van went up in flames.

Shortly after midnight, rioting moved several blocks east to Langelier Blvd., where youths looted shops and fed street fires with propane tanks.

Eventually, riot police moved in and responded by firing rubber bullets.

Some looters were seen being arrested after 1 a.m. A police spokesman said two officers and one paramedic suffered non-serious injuries.

Below is the video of the murder scene.
