This truly awful few minutes occurred this morning on a downtown street in metropolitan Montreal, Canada.
WARNING: The videos are incredibly GRAPHIC and difficult to watch.
I waited to post this until there was some information on who the gunman was who started firing, and that is just becoming clearer, but unnamed as yet. An officer was hit multiple times and killed. There is also an absolutely sickening moment when an older bystander looks to have been shot at point-blank range when he, instead of taking shelter behind a planter or column, popped up right next to a female cop in the middle of a gun battle.
Three people are dead - a police officer, the poor fellow who surprised the officer behind the planter, and the gunman.
Two people are dead, including a Montreal police officer, following a shootout with a suspect, who was also killed, in the city’s most populous borough, Côte-des-Neiges, Montreal police said. https://t.co/8b6rslzG4a pic.twitter.com/7CAQGb4krA

The neighborhood where it took place is known for being Jewish, and the fears at first were that a madman was hunting the Jews in the popular area - there are Jewish supermarkets, delis, and apparently, well-attended synagogues, but those were put to rest pretty quickly.
A window was broken out of a hotel room overlooking the street, and the attacker started his rampage from there, and then brought it down to street level.
Anyone interacting with police in Canada need to be hyper aware that cops will be on edge moving forward.

They're more aware than anyone else, just how much they're now in the line of fire.
Until all the details come out, we must assume this is the beginning of something far… https://t.co/UbnSSGszsn pic.twitter.com/gtUCNc8P7w
Police have since said they have found an INCEL-style manifesto in the room, where the young man, who had driven in from Alberta, railed against women, pornography, and, later reports have mentioned, was also anti-police.
The suspect behind a shooting that left three dead Monday in Montreal is believed to be an anti-feminist who drove from Alberta in the days leading up to the tragedy.
According to sources consulted by our investigative team, investigators believe that this man advocates an ideology that aligns with that of involuntary celibates, the "incels".
The individual opened fire from a hotel room on Décarie Boulevard shortly before noon. He left behind a manifesto of several dozen pages, which is in the possession of the police.
In his writings, he laments male loneliness and spreads derogatory remarks about women, according to the preliminary analysis by the police.
These deranged basement-dwelling creatures are so frickin' twisted.

So, I'm just going to line these videos up for you.
Again, they are hard to watch, and they are starting to take a lot of them down, even as I write.
NSFW Language
Obviously, whoever this sumbitch was, he wasn't out to kill little old Jewish men, as he runs right by one shuffling along the sidewalk in front of a store.

He was hunting the police officers who had swarmed to the area.

Horrible.
When a family vacation becomes a terror attack. As we checked out of our hotel in Montreal, a firefight erupted outside. Two cops were shot and also the terrorist. pic.twitter.com/h54oCXby9G

Our hearts go out to the families of the police officer so brutally murdered in cold blood, and, as far as the poor man who was in the wrong place at the wrong time, Michael Moshe Mizrahi...
Critics of the female Montreal officer:

Insane stress, maniac advancing with SKS, you’re outgunned with 9mm, partner bleeding out next to you.
She’ll relive it forever. HUGE mistake, but cut her some slack.
How would YOU do in that situation?
RIP Michael Moshe Mizrahi 🙏 pic.twitter.com/x4eQQyPKXZ
...there are conflicting news reports that he is alive and undergoing surgery, and the name is erroneous.
MONTREAL SHOOTING: ZAKA REVERSES IDENTITY CLAIM OF CIVILIAN VICTIM

The ZAKA organization has walked back its earlier identification of the civilian killed in the Montreal shooting.

...The group now says Michael Mizrachi was critically wounded and remains hospitalized, with his family requesting prayers. Authorities have not officially identified the civilian victim, police officer, or suspect involved in the attack.
Even hours later, things are still sideways after the madness.
And the female officer was hit, as well, from what I can glean. Her wounds, I believe, will take far longer to heal.
And there is still no name at all for the gunman, although the updated weapons ban argument is raging, as you might expect. Owners have until October 30 to turn in their banned weapons.
...An Amnesty Order, expiring October 30, 2026, is in place to protect owners from criminal liability for unlawful possession of a newly prohibited firearm if those owners were previously in lawful possession of one or more of the newly prohibited firearms on the day the amendments to the Classification Regulations came into force (March 7, 2025). This will allow owners the time to come into compliance with the law. Owners of any of the newly prohibited firearms must continue to possess a valid Possession and Acquisition Licence to be protected by the amnesty.
Effective immediately, the newly prohibited firearms can no longer be legally used, sold, imported, or transferred to another individual, and can only be transported as provided in the Amnesty Order.
This has been just awful.
