Overview
- Police say officers responding to a 911 call were fired on and returned fire in Côte‑des‑Neiges, leaving Montreal Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane and civilian Michael Moshe Mizrahi dead and the lone suspect killed on June 22.
- Montreal police recovered a long gun at the scene and witnesses and video show multiple rounds fired in a brief, chaotic exchange that also wounded a second officer.
- Investigators have seized a more‑than‑100‑page document they say may have been written by the suspect and that several media and law‑enforcement sources describe as reflecting incel‑style, misogynistic and anti‑police rhetoric.
- Quebec’s independent police watchdog (BEI) is leading a review of the use of force while provincial criminal investigators and Lethbridge police assist with searches and forensic work in Alberta.
- Officials and community leaders warn the case raises questions about online radicalization and the availability of certain long guns, and they say further forensic, digital and cross‑jurisdictional analysis is needed before any motive or network links are confirmed.
