A MAN has fatally shot another man then killed himself at a day care centre in Quebec, prompting authorities to evacuate the children as terror-stricken parents and guardians scrambled to retrieve their kids.
Gatineau Police Chief Mario Harel said all 53 children were safe and unharmed, and police speculated that some children likely witnessed Friday's killings.
"It's a small area, it's a close space,'' said Harel. "For sure, they should have been witness (to) the event.''
Harel said police received a call about an armed man with a shotgun threatening people. They arrived to find the man dead with a shotgun beside him and a second, unidentified employee of the day care, also dead.
He said the shooting seemed to be related to a recent separation between a couple.

"Right now we're investigating that this was related to a recent separation between a couple.''
Omar Eltalawi rushed to the scene from his nearby home as soon as he heard about the shooting, fearful for his three-year-old daughter, Zain.
"It was horrible,'' Eltalawi said as he described the fear of not knowing what was going on inside the two homes that housed the Racines De Vie Montessori daycare.

"You see these things on the news and you don't expect it to happen to you.''
A chilling scene played out in the aftermath of the shooting as visibly shaken parents sobbed and hugged while they waited for investigators to bring them to their children.
Sergeant Jean-Paul LeMay said police received a report of a shooting in the morning.
LeMay said the kids were safe at a nearby house. He would not release details on who was killed or if the kids witnessed the shooting.
The shooting initially raised fears of a far worse incident such as the one months ago when 20 children and six educators were massacred in a Newtown, Connecticut, elementary school in December.
