MONTREAL – The police officer who was killed in a shooting in Montreal’s Côte-des-Neiges district has been identified as Mohamed Lamine Benredouane.
Montreal police say the 34-year-old had been with the force since 2021.
Benredouane was killed after a suspect started shooting near an entrance to a hotel on Monday morning.
A civilian and the suspect were also killed, while a second police officer was seriously injured.
A police spokesperson in British Columbia says forces across the province were told of the possibility of “documentation or some type of manifesto” calling for police to be targeted with violence.
Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton with the Surrey Police Service says the warning was issued by an intelligence unit operating out of the RCMP B.C. headquarters Monday afternoon, after the “tragic events” in Montreal.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 22, 2026.
