Montreal police Chief Fady Dagher says officers were met with gunfire after responding to a 911 call about a person with a gun at a Hilton hotel in the Côte-des-Neiges district.

Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, a 34-year-old who had been with Montreal police since 2021, was killed.

Dagher says the suspect and a civilian were also killed in the ensuing gunfire, while a second police officer was injured.

Police have not identified the suspect or given a motive for the shooting, but say a long gun was seized.

Several city blocks were cordoned off during the shooting, and residents were to shelter in place due to the presence of an armed and dangerous suspect.
