Some Fête nationale celebrations cancelled after deadly Montreal shooting
The association said it cancelled the celebrations out of respect for the community and to avoid large gatherings after three people were killed.
- On Monday, a shooting killed three people in Montreal's Côte-des-Neiges neighbourhood, including police officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, 34, and bystander Michel Mizrahi, 68. The alleged gunman, Seth Scott Hatfield, 25, died during the confrontation with police.
- Police identified Hatfield, of Lethbridge, Alta., as the suspect who reportedly wrote a manifesto expressing hatred toward women. British Columbia authorities warned other forces of a potential anti-police manifesto linked to the Montreal attack.
- Responding to a 911 call about a person with a gun, officers were met with gunfire upon arrival. Witnesses recorded videos of the suspect in military-style clothing carrying a long gun near the Hilton Hotel.
- The SDC cancelled Quebec National Day celebrations scheduled for June 24, saying it acted "out of respect" for the community. The association represents about 230 merchants and professionals along the neighbourhood road.
- Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada visited the grieving neighbourhood on Tuesday and stated Montrealers should feel safe while urging officials to monitor online discourse and gun violence. The shooting has resonated far beyond the city.
