Canada Police Warn Of More Violence After Shootings Kill Three

Background

by Stefan J. Bos, Worthy News Chief International Correspondent

MONTREAL, CANADA (Worthy News) – Canadian police have warned of possible copycat attacks after a deadly shooting in Montreal left three people dead, including a police officer, and a manifesto linked to the gunman was circulated online.

The warning came two days after a gunman opened fire in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges district, a multicultural neighborhood in the province of Quebec, on Monday. The attacker, who was dressed in military-style camouflage and carrying a long gun, was later killed in a shootout with police.

Authorities said a police officer and a civilian also died in the violence. Another officer was critically injured but is expected to survive.

Shortly after the attack, Canada’s federal police issued a nationwide bulletin urging officers to remain vigilant after a 104-page manifesto allegedly linked to the gunman surfaced online.

MANIFESTO INVESTIGATED

Police said the document appeared to encourage violence and contained extremist views, including racist and misogynistic conspiracy theories associated with the so-called “incel” movement.

The slain officer was identified as Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, 34, who had served with Montreal police since 2021. The civilian victim, Michel Mizrahi, was identified by Israel’s consulate in Montreal as an Israeli citizen.

Quebec’s police watchdog, the Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI), is investigating the deaths and reviewing video footage from the incident, including reports that the civilian may have been struck during the exchange of gunfire.

The shooting marked the third fatal on-duty police killing in Canada this month, raising fresh worries among authorities.

NATION IN MOURNING

Quebec Premier Christine Fréchette said she was “deeply shocked and saddened” by the attack and ordered provincial flags flown at half-staff.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was “horrified” by the violence and expressed condolences to the victims, their families, and the wider Montreal community.

Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada also extended her condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of the slain police officer.

Police said the investigation remains ongoing.

While Canada generally has far lower rates of gun violence than its southern neighbor, the United States, the attack renewed worries about politically motivated violence and threats against law enforcement officers.
