Eight years after a deadly Toronto attack brought the "incel" movement into the public spotlight, reports have again bought concerns about the ideology following Monday’s deadly shooting in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges neighborhood.
The incident left a Montreal police officer and a civilian dead, while a second officer was seriously injured before the suspect was "neutralized," according to authorities. Police later confirmed that one officer, one civilian, and the suspect had died.
“It is with immense sadness that we confirm the death of one of our police officers in the line of duty,” the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal (SPVM) said in a statement.
Montreal police identified the slain officer as Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, 34, who had served with the force since 2021. CBC News confirmed the civilian killed was Michael Mizrahi.
