00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.720
The mayor of Montreal is trying to reassure residents their
2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:07.919
city is still safe despite yesterday's deadly shooting. A police
3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.519
officer and a civilian were killed. A suspect is also dead.
4
00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:14.800
The mayor spoke to reporters earlier near the scene of
5
00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:17.120
the shooting in the borough of Cotenesh.
6
00:00:17.719 --> 00:00:22.879
I'm very surprised. I mean, Montreal, when was the last
7
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.480
time we had an event like this? I mean, and
8
00:00:26.359 --> 00:00:32.439
at some point, I think Montreal, at some point it's
9
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:36.079
hit very hard by this because it hits on that
10
00:00:36.200 --> 00:00:40.079
sentiment of security and that something can happen in our
11
00:00:40.119 --> 00:00:43.200
cities like that. Of course, it will take some time
12
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:46.320
to recover, but again, I want to be as sure
13
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:48.079
Montrealer is that MONTREALI is safe.
14
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:51.880
The CBC Sarah Levitt was at the news conference earlier.
15
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:54.079
She joins US Now Live from the neighborhood where the
16
00:00:54.119 --> 00:00:57.880
shooting happened. Sarah, the mayor and other local leaders spoke
17
00:00:57.880 --> 00:00:59.520
to reporters. What was their message.
18
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:04.799
Yeah, you know, we heard her reassuring citizens, but there
19
00:01:04.879 --> 00:01:09.879
was also an acknowledgment about just how shocking this incident
20
00:01:09.959 --> 00:01:14.519
yesterday was and traumatizing in fact, you know, just a
21
00:01:14.519 --> 00:01:17.599
reminder of what happened. At around eleven thirty, police received
22
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.680
a call about a shooter with a gun pointing out
23
00:01:20.719 --> 00:01:23.439
a window. When they arrived on the scene, the first
24
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:31.120
officers arrived, they immediately exchanged gunfire with the suspect. The
25
00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:35.799
police officer was killed, a bystander was killed, and so
26
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.359
too was the suspect. So the mayor just reassuring people
27
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:45.120
that although this terrible thing happened, reiterating what the police
28
00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:48.920
chief has said, it was an isolated incident, security in
29
00:01:48.959 --> 00:01:53.959
the city remains so, but also acknowledging just how deeply
30
00:01:54.079 --> 00:01:58.280
affected people in the neighborhood would be. You know, this
31
00:01:58.359 --> 00:02:01.640
is a complex, an area that had a park. It
32
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.840
has high rises with condos and a hotel, businesses on
33
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:11.280
the first and second floors, largely densely populated, so lots
34
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:14.000
of people affected, many people in lockdown

for a really
35
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:17.080
long time. Here's here's what the mayor had to say.
36
00:02:18.919 --> 00:02:21.240
I'm speaking you all, speaking with you all today with
37
00:02:21.360 --> 00:02:24.520
a very heavy heart. What we've lived in the last
38
00:02:24.560 --> 00:02:27.400
twenty four hours. I don't wish it on anyone. I
39
00:02:27.439 --> 00:02:29.879
think that everyone can agree with me today that what
40
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:33.639
we just lived in kug was a complete nightmare. It
41
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:37.400
was a tragedy, y that we're going to be living
42
00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:39.439
with for the next few months. For sure. As a
43
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.759
community in kod anybody that knows our borough, they know
44
00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:46.879
that we are a borough that is dynamic, that is vibrant,
45
00:02:46.919 --> 00:02:51.159
that is welcoming. You know, we have sevent of our
46
00:02:51.159 --> 00:02:55.120
population is from immigrant background. We are just a community
47
00:02:55.199 --> 00:02:56.439
that we are so proud of.
48
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:03.240
And so so. Right now, the perimeter around where this happened,
49
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.599
it is getting a little bit smaller. But an investigation continues,
50
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:10.199
not by Montreal Police but in fact by the Provincial
51
00:03:10.240 --> 00:03:15.240
Police Watchdog who is also being assisted by provincial police.
52
00:03:15.759 --> 00:03:19.439
And Sarah, what have we learned about the victims.
53
00:03:20.840 --> 00:03:27.199
Yeah, we're getting more testimony from about these people who died.
54
00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:31.280
Of course, talking about thirty four year old Mohammed lamin
55
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:33.879
ben Raduan, he was the police officer, one of the
56
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:37.680
first to arrive on the scene that was killed. Learning
57
00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:40.360
that he had been a police officer for about five years,
58
00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:46.280
that he was from this neighborhood, went to a school
59
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:49.599
near here, the borough mayrsing. He was well known in
60
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.319
the community and well liked. Also hearing more about sixty
61
00:03:54.360 --> 00:03:59.039
eight year old Michel Mizrahi, a member of the Jewish community,
62
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.879
really well known again also really well liked, and we
63
00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:12.599
spoke with his rabbi who had this to say about him.
64
00:04:12.719 --> 00:04:19.480
Just yesterday. There's a woman with her twitter, I think
65
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:24.839
her baby walking and he went to this woman, he says,
66
00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.480
run away this shooting. He was making sure that she
67
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.319
will understand that he is a shooting. She has to
68
00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:35.240
run away. I spoke to her this morning. She says,
69
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.720
if I'm alive today is because of him, me and
70
00:04:38.879 --> 00:04:41.759
mine baby.
71
00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:46.720
So a testimony of a selfless act there from the
72
00:04:46.759 --> 00:04:49.120
bystander who was caught in the crossfire.
73
00:04:49.959 --> 00:04:52.399
All right, what about the suspect, What do we know
74
00:04:52.519 --> 00:04:55.199
about him?
75
00:04:55.800 --> 00:05:00.800
Quebec's corner has officially identified him as as a twenty
76
00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:05.240
five year old Seth Scott Hatfield from Lethbridge, Alberta. We
77
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:10.519
do know that he had a manifesto entitled June twenty second,
78
00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:16.279
which was yesterday, of course, and that manifesto espoused wide
79
00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:21.360
range of views, a lot of anti feminist female thoughts,
80
00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:27.519
but also anti capitalism, anti liberalism, and also bringing up
81
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:31.560
issues or bringing up the need for a violent revolution,
82
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:37.800
also raging against the pornography, industry, so very wide ranging.
83
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.079
Their police have not said much, but we do know
84
00:05:43.160 --> 00:05:48.240
that the Lethbridge Police have said they are assisting the
85
00:05:48.360 --> 00:05:53.399
Police Watchdog in this investigation. Earlier in the day, Lethbridge
86
00:05:53.439 --> 00:05:56.199
Police had sent out a release talking about a high
87
00:05:56.279 --> 00:06:01.120
risk search in an area of Lethbridge. Holmes were evacuated
88
00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:05.519
for potential weapons on the scene. Now they have not
89
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.480
confirmed if that's related to this investigation, but as I
90
00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:13.399
said later this afternoon, they had said they are assisting
91
00:06:13.839 --> 00:06:18.439
the Police Washdog. You know, more and more information coming out.
92
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:23.279
Police are remaining quite tight lipped about this, but as
93
00:06:23.319 --> 00:06:24.560
we have it, we will share it.
94
00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:28.120
Sarah, thank you. That is the CBC. Sarah Levitt live
95
00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:28.879
