A Jewish man was killed Monday evening in the ongoing security incident in Montreal's Jewish quarter, journalist Amit Segal reported, citing police sources. The report states that authorities are investigating whether the victim was mistakenly struck by police fire during the confrontation with the gunman. This development conflicts with earlier assessments by ZAKA, which had reported no Jewish casualties from the incident. The identification also differs from an earlier report of a seriously wounded victim named Michael Moshe ben Miriam. The broader police operation is still underway as authorities continue to search the scene. The identity of the deceased Jewish man has not yet been officially released.
