SHOOTS 2 GUNMEN
IN BANK HOLDUP
MONTREAL <CP> - A young
off-duty Montreal policeman critically wounded one gunman
Thursday and captured another,
thwarting an attempted holdup
at sa caisse populaire (credit union' in north-end Montreal.
Constable Gilles Dion, 26. was
in the, bank cashing a cheque
when four gunmen entered.
Four bank employees. Dion,
and a 64-year-old woman customer were in the bank shortly,
after noon when the holdup at-!
tempt was madc.
Constable Dion said he heard
a shot. Going for his own gun,

the hooded gunmen.
In the furious gun battle that
followed, he shot and wounded
another gunman. They fled.
Mrs. Tnomas Ryan, the woman
customer, was hit by stray bullets.
She was taken to hospital in
serious condition.
The fleeing green-hooded ban-J
dits did not stop to get into their
getaway car, parked in front of
the bank, but ran down nearby
Papineau Avenue.
Dion chased them. He spotted
a pair of legs sticking out from
under a porch and dragged out,
with the help of a passer-by, a
wounded, hooded man.
Six radio cars from two districts converged on the site and
the police flying squad patrolled
an area several blocks in radius
to search for the band! s.
A man identified omy as Fournier died in hospital Thursday
a few hours after he was shot
through the forehead by an off-
duty policeman during an attempted holdup of a credit union
in north • end Montreal.

hooded bandits who attempted to
rob the caisse populaire while
Const. Gilles Dion, 26, was cashing a cheque.
