The Chabad emissary in Montreal, Rabbi Chaim Cohen, told The Zioneer that gunfire was directed at a building adjacent to the Chabad house. One suspect was arrested, a second remains at large. Police evacuated about 100 people from a nearby hotel into the Chabad center for safety.
The Chabad emissary in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges district, Rabbi Chaim Cohen, provided a fresh account of the unfolding shooting incident Monday evening. He told The Zioneer that gunmen fired from a hotel at a nearby building just steps from the Chabad house. Police apprehended one suspect while the second remains at large; a large manhunt is underway. Approximately 100 people were evacuated from the adjacent hotel into the Chabad center as a precaution.
As The Zioneer reported at 20:21 Jerusalem, a ZAKA volunteer at the scene had said hostages were being held — that situation remains unresolved, with local police actively sweeping the area. Two earlier bulletins at 20:17 and 20:36 documented the initial shooting that wounded at least one police officer, the neutralization of one suspect, and the emergence of a second gunman. The current account from the Chabad representative confirms the second suspect is still being hunted.
What remains open: the precise condition of the wounded officer, the status of any hostage scenario, and whether the perpetrators had accomplices. The scene is still active, and Montreal police have not yet issued a formal statement.
