🇨🇦 Montreal Investigation Examines Possible Motives: Authorities identified the alleged gunman in the deadly Côte-des-Neiges shooting as Seth Scott Hatfield, 25, of Lethbridge, Alberta.
The victims were SPVM Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane and Michael Mizrahi, a Jewish civilian who became caught in the incident.
Early public reporting suggests investigators are examining a manifesto reportedly linked to incel ideology and containing anti-women, anti-capitalist, and anti-pornography themes. According to TVA reporting, investigators are also exploring whether nearby offices associated with Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, may have been connected to the intended target of the attack.
While the shooting occurred in a heavily Jewish neighborhood and near Jewish institutions, authorities have not officially established a motive. Current public reporting does not indicate that the Jewish community was the primary target, though investigators continue to examine the circumstances and findings remain preliminary.
