Police have identified the second man who died Friday after shots were fired inside a Quebec home daycare as a 38-year-old French citizen living in Canada.

Police said the man’s family, who live in France, have been notified of the news. His name is not being released.

Meanwhile, investigators continue to probe the shooting, which took place in Gatineau, Que., just north of Ottawa, on Friday morning.

Dozens of toddlers wrapped in blankets and coats had been rushed out of the Racines De Vie daycare around 10:30 a.m. Friday after a man carrying a shotgun entered the residential daycare and began threatening staff.

When police arrived, they found the gunman dead, along with one of the daycare’s male staff members.

The daycare is located in two homes at 225 and 229 Rue Gamelin, but operates as one business.

Robert Charron, who is not a resident of Gatineau, was the second man killed in the incident, police confirmed Friday night. No further information has been released about Charron, including his age, hometown or whether he was the shooter.

Police also stressed Saturday there is no indication that the double fatality was the result of a “love triangle.” Previous reports have suggested the incident was sparked by some sort of marital dispute.

All 53 children, most under the age of five, who attended the daycare were safely evacuated and were unharmed during the incident. It's believed some of the children witnessed the shooting.

Neighbours Louise Robitaille and Estelle Kesterton took in all 53 children to their homes, after seeing them outside without their coats in the aftermath of the shooting.

Most of the children didn't seem too shaken, the women reported, except for one boy who said the "the hunter never find us."

The children played games, read books and did puzzles until their parents arrived to pick them up, as news spread of the shooting.

One of the investigators, Sgt. Jean Paul Lemay, says some of the children may have witnessed the violence.

He advises parents to check with their children if everything is "going normally" and if there are changes, to seek counselling.
