Overview
- Police responded to a 911 call about a gun being pointed from a hotel window and were fired on during the response on Monday.
- The exchange left three dead: a Montreal police officer, a civilian identified in local reports as Michael Moshe Mizrahi, and the shooter.
- A second officer was taken to hospital in critical condition and has since been reported stable.
- Officers recovered a long gun at the scene, issued shelter-in-place alerts and closed nearby roads and metro service while securing the area.
- The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes and criminal investigators have opened inquiries and officials say motive has not yet been established amid local concern for the neighbourhood’s Jewish community.
