Funeral for Montreal police officer killed in shooting set to be held today
More than 5,000 police officers and first responders are expected to join the memorial procession, officials said, as the service honors a fallen SPVM constable.
- On Tuesday, thousands of police officers gathered at Montreal's Bell Centre for a public memorial honoring Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, killed in the line of duty last month.
- Benredouane, 34, died following a June 22 shootout in the Côte-des-Neiges district; the encounter also killed bystander Michel Mizrahi and alleged gunman Seth Scott Hatfield.
- More than 5,000 first responders from across Canada marched from police headquarters to the arena, honoring the first Montreal police officer killed on duty in 24 years.
- Montreal police Chief Fady Dagher praised Benredouane as "totally available to his colleagues," while family members mourned the officer who leaves behind a three-year-old son and a pregnant wife.
- Spectators lined downtown streets under a cloudless sky to witness the ceremony, which featured a Royal Canadian Air Force flyby and tributes by police leadership and dignitaries.
