OTTAWA — Police have issued a nationwide warrant for an Ottawa man wanted for the shooting deaths of two men.

They say Alam Gabriel Buoc, 30, is wanted on two first-degree murder charges in the deaths of 26-year-old Abdulrahman Al-Shammari and 27-year-old Dirie Olol, who both died of gunshot wounds Monday.

Police also issued a warrant for Buoc for the attempted murder of a third man, who is in serious condition in hospital with gunshot wounds.

They say Buoc should be considered armed and dangerous.

Officers responded to a hospital around 7 a.m. Monday for a report of a man suffering from gunshot wounds.

Police later found the body of Al-Shammari in the city's west end, and the body of Olol in an abandoned vehicle.
