The suspect has been neutralised, police say.
Two people were killed in a shooting in a Jewish neighbourhood in Montreal, Canada, on Monday, police said.
Montreal police said the suspect had been neutralized. A police officer and a civilian were killed in the Cote-des-Neiges neighbourhood, while another officer and a second civilian were injured.
Israeli media initially reported that Rabbi Michael Moshe Mizrahi, a member of the local Chabad center, had been killed. ZAKA later said, however, that Mizrahi had been injured and was undergoing emergency surgery.
Videos from the scene show a police presence near the Supermarché PA shopping center on Westbury Avenue. The surrounding area has been cordoned off, with residents urged to remain indoors and avoid approaching windows. The videos appear to show police officers exchanging gunfire at close range with the suspected gunman.
🇨🇦 More footage from the scene in Montreal shows police everywhere.
It’s a chaotic situation, and while it’s not confirmed, it looks like the shooter is still inside.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said he was “horrified” to learn that a police officer and a civilian had been killed.
“My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, the first responders and the entire community of Côte-des-Neiges. My gratitude goes to our courageous police officers, whose heroic dedication protects our communities,” he wrote on X.
Located near the city centre, the Cote-des-Neiges neighbourhood is home to several public schools and colleges, including the main campus of Montreal University, as well as some hospitals and prominent religious buildings, such as Saint Joseph’s Oratory of Mount Royal – a large domed basilica, which is widely regarded as the most popular local tourist attraction.
