Michael Moshe Mizrahi, a Jewish resident of Montreal wounded in Monday's major shooting incident near the city's Chabad center and kosher supermarket, has died of his injuries, according to an Israeli media report citing the Jewish community.
The report, by journalist Amit Segal (N12), states that police are investigating whether Mizrahi was accidentally struck by officer gunfire during a gunfight at the scene. The circumstances of his death are still being investigated by local authorities.
As The Zioneer previously reported, Monday's attack in the Côte-des-Neiges district left multiple casualties, including a police officer killed and another critically wounded, before the gunman was neutralized. Mizrahi's death adds to the toll. The ongoing investigation by Montreal police will determine the exact sequence of events.
