Montreal police never fired on civilian during deadly daytime shooting: Radio-Canada
Forensic analysis reportedly found the fatal bullets matched the gunman’s calibre, not police fire, in a June 22 shootout that left three people dead.
- On Wednesday, La Presse reported that forensic analysis by the Laboratoire shows bullets that killed bystander Michel Mizrahi matched the assailant's caliber, not police weapons, during the June 22 CDN-NDG shooting.
- Three people died in the June 22 exchange of gunfire in CDN-NDG: SPVM Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, civilian Mizrahi, and the alleged 25-year-old shooter Seth Hatfield, initially prompting speculation about police involvement.
- Viral video showing an SPVM officer aiming toward Mizrahi prompted public judgment and accusations of misconduct, though the officer suffered critical injuries, entered a coma, and underwent multiple operations during the shootout.
- Montreal police chief Fady Dagher defended the officer, calling her a hero who "deserves the best recognition," and said he was "extremely frustrated" to see the public judge her based on video footage.
- Quebec authorities and the coroner's office have not confirmed the La Presse report, citing an ongoing investigation, while the coroner continues to clarify circumstances surrounding the three deaths.
