Alberta Man Named Suspect in Montreal Shooting that Killed Officer and Bystander
CNN reported that a gunman opened fire outside a hotel in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood, killing Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouan and a civilian while a second officer was wounded and later hospitalized in stable condition. NBC added that the suspect was killed in the ensuing shootout, and The Times of Israel noted three fatalities – the officer, the civilian resident and the gunman – with authorities still probing the motive. CBS and NPR echoed the casualty count and confirmed that the incident occurred at the Hilton hotel, emphasizing the severity of the attack.
BBC later identified the shooter as a 25-year-old man from Alberta, naming him as the alleged gunman in the Montreal neighbourhood shooting that claimed the lives of the officer and the bystander. The report said the motive remained under investigation.
