Overview
- Police responded to a 911 call about a person with a firearm and were met with gunfire during an intervention that left three people dead, including an SPVM officer and the suspect who was shot by police.
- The fatal shooting and the neutralization of the lone suspect occurred on Monday in the Côte‑des‑Neiges area and a policewoman wounded in the confrontation is now in stable condition.
- The SPVM identified the officer killed as Mohamed Lamine Benredouane and confirmed a civilian resident also died; authorities have not released a confirmed motive for the attack.
- A wide security perimeter closed major roads and disrupted metro service, Québec en Alerte messages told residents to shelter in place, and a provincial crisis cell was set up to coordinate response and support.
- The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes is leading the probe once the scene was secured, and local leaders have stressed caution against speculation while community aftercare and security reviews continue.
