Michael Moshe Mizrahi has been identified as the Jewish civilian who was seriously injured in the shooting attack in Montreal on Monday.
Earlier reports indicated that Mizrahi was murdered in the attack, but ZAKA and the Montreal Jewish community later stated that Mizrahi is still alive but is in serious condition and doctors are fighting to save his life.
Mizrahi was wounded during the exchange of fire that took place at the scene.
Two police officers were also wounded in the shooting. Mizrachi and one of the police officers later succumbed to their injuries.
The incident began around 11:30 a.m. local time in the heavily Jewish neighborhood of Côte-des-Neiges. Following the shooting, authorities issued an extraordinary emergency alert to residents of the area, instructing them to stay indoors, lock doors, and stay away from windows.
Videos from the scene showed security forces storming a supermarket with weapons drawn.
Footage from the scene shows a policeman who was apparently hit by a bullet lying with a gun in his hand and a citizen trying to help him, and not far from them was another man dressed in a military uniform, who was seen lying motionless. The man in military uniform was apparently the shooter, who was eliminated.
Chabad spokesperson Rabbi Motti Seligson told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the shooting does not appear to have been targeted at the Jewish community.
