The tranquil normalcy of a residential neighborhood in the Canadian city of Montreal was shattered Monday morning after a gunman opened fire, prompting a shootout with police that killed at least two people, sent families running for cover and paralyzed the city for hours.
The brazen daylight shooting, which law enforcement sources believe was a targeted attack on police, marks the first time a Montreal officer has been killed in the line of duty in two decades.
The rash of gunshots shocked residents of the Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood, who remained under an hourslong order to take shelter and lock their doors as authorities investigated an “armed and dangerous suspect.” The suspect was later confirmed to have been killed.
Police are examining a so-called manifesto that runs over 100 pages they believe may have been written by the gunman. It reportedly espouses incel ideology, according to law enforcement sources. Incel is short for “involuntary celibate” and its misogynistic ideology has been tied to several violent attacks in recent years.
The Montreal Police Service identified the fallen officer as Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, 34, who had been a police officer with the department since 2021. It’s the first fatal shooting of an officer in the city in 24 years, Quebec Domestic Security Minister Ian Lafrenière said.
The other victim was identified as Michel Mizrahi, an Israeli citizen, according to the Israeli Consulate in Montreal. The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said Mizrahi was a beloved member of Montreal’s Jewish community.
Authorities have not yet identified the gunman, who police believe acted alone.
A second officer was transported to the hospital in critical condition, but she is now stable, Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher said at a news conference. One civilian sustained minor injuries, he said.

Why would you not read the manifesto, then go online and just spread lies created from whole cloth?
Why do people do this?
