Montreal Shooting Carnage Stuns Canada; Cop, Rabbi Michael Moshe Mizrahi Among Dead | WATCH

A deadly shooting in a Jewish neighborhood of Montreal has left three people dead, including a police officer, a civilian, and the suspected gunman in what authorities are describing as one of the city's most disturbing incidents in recent memory. The violence erupted on Monday in the area around Westbury Street, triggering a massive emergency response as police vehicles, tactical units, and a helicopter converged on the scene. According to Montreal Police Chief Fadi Dagher, the incident began when a citizen called 911 to report a man firing shots from a building. Officers rushed to the location, but as they arrived, the situation quickly escalated into a deadly exchange of gunfire. Dagher said the suspect was armed with what he described as a long-range weapon. During the confrontation, a police officer was killed. A civilian also lost his life, while the suspected shooter was fatally shot. Authorities say no other suspects are believed to be involved, and investigators are continuing to examine exactly how the events unfolded. Police have not yet determined a motive. Officials stressed that it remains too early to say whether the attack was linked to criminal activity or whether it could be treated as an act of terrorism. As investigators worked through the scene, reports emerged identifying the civilian victim as Rabbi Moshe Mosraki, a member of Montreal's local Kabad community. However, questions remain surrounding the exact circumstances of his death. It is not yet clear whether Rabbi Mosraki was killed by the suspect or during the exchange of gunfire involving police officers at the scene. The shooting has sent shockwaves through Montreal's Jewish community and across the city. Calling the incident a nightmare, Police Chief Fadi Dagher said investigators are now focused on reconstructing the sequence of events and understanding what led to the deadly attack. I'll be brief in English. We were supposed to announce something very important today with all the colleagues and our friends from the Mohawk community of the Kahnawake. Unfortunately, as you understand, the reality has caught up to us. There's something important taking place in Montreal. The premier, she's already in Montreal. I'll be there in a few minutes. I'm leaving from here to gather for a crisis management, so we'll do that together. Now it's a crime scene. I'll ask everyone not to show up. This is not the right time. This is not the right place to be. There's still an important police operation. Our heart is with all the victim family. We got a confirmation that one of the officers passed away. So for us, it's a very sad moment. Very sad moment. A very, very sad day. It's a nightmare. But we have to be solid. We have to be solid for our lady police officer who survived, and we're all behind her. And well, that's it. I spoke to the brother. Honestly, I can't go to those details because we still, we know that the person, the main suspect, the way he was dressed and the way he was behaving, he's the one who got shot right away. But for the other person, I don't have the details yet. But eventually, we're going to find out more. Do you believe any other suspects are at large? No, not this point. I have no details, no intel, but the way he was dressed, he's right. Well, listen, we received a 911 call coming from a citizen. So I don't know, but I don't think it was police target, but maybe we'll see what the investigation will tell us. But it was a 911 call from a citizen telling us there's somebody who's shooting from a specific place. And at that moment, when the police came, that person wasn't on the different floors. He was already on the Red Chaussée. Then the crossfire starts. At this point in time, is this being treated as a criminal act or as a terrorism act? We don't have that detail yet. Could you describe the firearm that was used? No, not yet. It's a long range. Is it possible, is it among the hypotheses that police were the specific target? I don't have that detail yet. We're not jumping to any conclusion, but right now, what we are concerning about the 911 call, about that suspect and the weapon that he had with him, that one is controlled. At which point do you think more information will be coming out? We don't know yet. To be honest with you, to be with you right now here, during the operation, during the event, and being transparent, honest, and truthful to the community, it's a very fast move to be meeting with you here on the streets. But to be honest, let's wait to see what's the result of the investigation, where we're going from now. But it's too early to draw any conclusion. My son literally got here, I think, minutes before any of the shootings happened. He's on a scooter, so thank God. And I've been sitting here just waiting anxiously, not knowing what's happening. I just want this to be over, and I want to hug them and see them. How are you feeling right now? Nauseous. I mean, knowing that my son literally was on his scooter on that street with no protection other than a helmet, and was minutes from when the shootings took place, I haven't processed it yet.
