A police source says the suspect in the fatal shooting at the Parti Quebecois' election victory party runs a hunting and fishing lodge north of Montreal.

The source has identified the 62-year-old suspect as Richard Henry Bain.

The suspect shouted about an awakening of English-speaking Quebecers as he was led away last night after two people were shot.

The police source identifies the man killed as 48-year-old Denis Blanchette but did not confirm reports he was working at the Metropolis club as a sound technician.

The second victim remains in hospital.
