Montreal SPVM (Police) Chief Fady Dagher called yesterday’s shooting “a nightmare<\/em>” (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2hmva8ek<\/a>). How could it not be a nightmare when three people lost their lives, including the shooter, and so many witnessed the traumatizing event? Some hiding for three to five hours. Others observing from the balconies of their apartments (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2hmva8ek<\/a> & many other media).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the victims is a devoted police officer who is a father of a young child AND of an unborn baby. Const. Mohamed Lamine Benredouane was a great Qu\u00e9bec citizen\/Canadian who happens to be of Algerian origins (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2hmva8ek<\/a>). May his soul rest in peace and may his memory be eternal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The other victim is a beloved 68-year-old citizen and a father of three. Of note, he was on his way to meet his son when he lost his life. May Mr. Michael Mizrahi rest in peace and may his memory be eternal. Mr. Mizrahi happens to be of Lebanese origins and he came to Canada from Israel, as Rabbi Mendel Raskin said (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2hmva8ek<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It seems that a second (female) police officer was also shot. Thank Goodness, she is out of danger in a stable condition. Same for another civilian who sustained minor injuries (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2hmva8ek<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

May God know how to comfort the hearts of the victims’ family, friends, and community members, both fellow police officers and civilians. May all those affected by this senseless violence heal as smoothly as possible. It will take much courage and patience to process this traumatic event and\/or to grieve the loss of life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bearing the above in mind, if you are wondering about the shooter, it seems that this young man who was dressed in camouflage drove all the way from Alberta to Qu\u00e9bec while being blinded by odd ideas, including the hate of women, porn and of capitalism (https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/2hmva8ek<\/a>). Regardless of his unwell state of mind or motivation, what an absurd tragedy. Bambi’s heart also goes to his family and loved ones (independent of their story).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To conclude this post, bravo and thanks to the SPVM police for protecting citizens as they did in a remarkable way, despite their own sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
