An SPVM officer, civilian and suspect have died in a Montreal shooting — Here's what we know – MTL Blog

The armed suspect was "neutralized."
A police officer, a civilian, and a suspect are dead following a shooting in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood on Monday afternoon, with a second officer seriously injured and a major police operation still underway as of 2 p.m.
The incident began around 11:35 a.m. near the intersection of Trans Island Avenue and Courtrai Avenue, at the base of an apartment building close to the Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Midtown.

Two SPVM officers were shot during the intervention. The SPVM said early on that the situation was not under control.
Shortly after 12:30 p.m., a Quebec En Alerte emergency notification was pushed to cellphones across the island of Montreal, warning of an armed and dangerous suspect in the area and asking residents to shelter indoors, lock their doors, and stay away from windows.
Over the course of the afternoon, the SPVM confirmed the deaths in a series of posts on X. One officer died in the line of duty. The armed suspect was neutralized and also died. A civilian was killed as well. A second officer sustained serious injuries.
The officer was later identified as 34-year-old Mohamed Lamine Benredouane.
"It's a very, very sad day. It's a nightmare," SPVM Chief Fady Dagher told members of the media at a press conference this afternoon. Dagher was unable to disclose details about the suspect and confirmed that the SPVM's operation is still in effect.
Videos of the late suspect have been circulating on social media. While his identity has not yet been released, he appears to be a white man dressed in camo gear.
"At this point, the immediate threat is controlled," Dagher said. "The community's safe."
