Canadian authorities confirmed that a police officer was killed in the ongoing shooting incident in Montreal, according to i24NEWS. The incident, which began earlier Monday evening, has left multiple casualties and the suspect neutralized.
Canadian authorities confirmed Monday evening that a police officer was killed in the Montreal shooting incident, as reported by i24NEWS. The confirmation, published at 20:02 Jerusalem, came after local media had reported one officer killed and another wounded, with the assailant neutralized, at the same time. The officer was among multiple security personnel targeted in the Côte-des-Neiges district.
Earlier Monday evening, initial reports at 20:02 Jerusalem described an armed suspect at large after wounding a police officer; within the same minute, the thread expanded to confirm two officers shot near a Chabad center and kosher supermarket, a subsequent neutralization, and multiple fatalities. By 20:02 Jerusalem, reports indicated two dead and one seriously wounded, with ZAKA reporting multiple security force casualties. The suspect was neutralized by police, and sources indicated the Jewish community was not the target.
As The Zioneer reported at 20:02 Jerusalem, the shooting occurred in the Côte-des-Neiges district, near Jewish institutions including a Chabad center and a kosher supermarket. A ZAKA report at 20:48 Jerusalem noted no Jewish casualties so far, as the desk subsequently reported.
The motive remains under investigation, and there are no reports of Jewish casualties or direct targeting of Jewish institutions.
