Rabbi Martin Glassner, who lives near the site of the shooting, said he stepped outside his home just before 12 p.m. On Monday, when he saw several police cars and people gathered.

"My reaction is, it's very dissettling. This is a very beautiful quiet residential area … for something like this to happen, I'm quite shaken up. This has never happened here before." 

Glassner said Mizrahi was "a wonderful man," though he didn't know him personally.

"I guess it's the wrong place at the wrong time, but very sad."

Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada and Stéphanie Valenzuela, borough mayor of Côte-des-Neiges–Notre-Dame-de-Grâce will hold a news conference at about 11:30 a.m. ET.

Côte-des-Neiges, where the shooting took place Monday, is home to more than 100 ethnic communities, making it one of the most ethnically diverse neighbourhoods in Canada, according to Tourisme Montréal. The densely populated neighbourhood is west of the city of Côte-St-Luc, where a large Jewish community resides. 

Though officials have released almost no details about the suspect in yesterday's shooting, much is already circulating online, including an alleged manifesto linked to him. 

"The continuing thread throughout is a hatred of women," Carvin said. "He's also very upset at pornography."

Some local media have reported the suspect targeted that particular area of the city because of its proximity to the offices of MindGeek, the Montreal-based company that operates Pornhub.

Carvin, who said she obtained the document through other researchers and not police sources, said it includes a call for what the author describes as "revolutionary" acts of terrorism. 

She said that could help explain why the RCMP warned police agencies across Canada to be alert for potential copycat attacks.

According to Carvin, the document portrays police as responsible for upholding a system the author viewed as corrupt and unjust.

Carvin said investigators will likely be focused on determining whether the suspect acted alone, who he may have been in contact with, and how he became radicalized. She said those questions will be key to assessing any ongoing threat to police or other institutions in Canada.

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 Michel 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.
