The victim of a shooting incident in Canada was identified by his Hebrew prayer name as Michael Moshe ben Miriam, and an appeal for his recovery was published. The man was seriously wounded, according to the report.
A new development tonight: the Jewish man seriously wounded in the Canada shooting has been identified in a prayer appeal as Michael Moshe ben Miriam. The appeal was published just after The Zioneer confirmed the incident at 21:39 Jerusalem (Monday). At that time the victim had not yet been named; the new information comes from a single-source report.
The thread began at 20:35 Jerusalem with initial reports of a shooting near a Chabad center in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges district: one suspect killed, a second at large, and approximately 100 people evacuated to the Chabad house. At the same 20:35 timestamp, an update stated a civilian and a police officer were dead, the gunman (in military uniform) eliminated, and a Jewish community member seriously wounded. By 21:39, the first dispatch on today's bulletin named the Jewish victim in prayer-name form — Michael Moshe ben Miriam — and the earlier version at 20:35 had already carried the same identification.
As The Zioneer reported at 20:17 Jerusalem, a separate shooting incident in Montreal's Westbury area — near a Chabad center and kosher supermarket — prompted a lockdown and wounded a police officer; footage from that scene was released at 20:14. The relationship between that background incident and tonight's fatal attack near a Chabad center remains unclear.
It has not been verified whether the victim's Hebrew prayer name reflects an Israeli nationality or local community membership. No further details on the shooter's identity or a possible antisemitic motive have been released. The Canadian police have not yet issued an official statement on the victim's name.
