Canadian authorities confirmed the death of Michael Mizrahi, 13, who was critically wounded in a shooting incident in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges district. The confirmation follows earlier reports of his critical condition and ongoing confusion over his status.
Canadian authorities confirmed Tuesday morning that Michael Mizrahi, 13, has died from wounds sustained in a chaotic shooting incident in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges district on Monday. The confirmation, reported at 07:42 Jerusalem time, ends a period of uncertainty about his condition. The Zioneer reported hours earlier that ZAKA had confirmed his death, but the official Canadian determination was still pending. The incident, which left three dead, is under investigation; police earlier acknowledged Mizrahi may have been struck by stray police fire during a hostage crisis at a supermarket. The case has drawn significant attention in Israel and the Jewish diaspora.
