Montreal on edge after police officer, civilian and suspect killed in midday shootout
Montreal officials including Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada are scheduled to speak today in the aftermath of the shooting death of a police officer and a civilian Monday in the city's Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood.
A suspect carrying a long gun opened fire nearby a condo complex, striking two police officers — 34-year-old Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, who was killed, and a female officer who remains in hospital.
A civilian, 68-year-old Michael Mizrahi, was killed though police have not said how. The suspect, who police have not publicly identified, has also died.
A tense, hourslong shelter-in-place order followed the exchange as officers established a wide perimeter around the scene and appeared to believe another suspect may have been at large.
Monday afternoon, Montreal police Chief Fady Dagher confirmed there had been only one suspect and that the shelter-in-place order was precautionary.
"It's a nightmare," Dagher told reporters. "But we have to be solid for our officer who survived and we are all behind her."
Dagher said police were called after a witness reported seeing a "gun sticking out of a window" in the area of De Courtrai and Trans Island avenues, near a major highway that cuts through the city known as the Décarie.
Few details have been confirmed about the suspect and his motivations — including his name, age and provenance — despite much online speculation.
"We don't know yet," Dagher said. "I'm hoping we're going to find out."
Quebec's Domestic Security Minister Ian Lafrenière called the shooting a "domestic case," and said it is not related to terrorism.
Quebec's police watchdog, the Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI), was assigned to investigate the events that took place during the intervention.
Monday evening, Martinez Ferrada posted a statement in French on X, offering her "most sincere condolences to the family, loved ones and colleagues of the police officer who died."
She said her thoughts are also with everyone affected by the tragedy.
