The official, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorized to speak publicly about the case, said the manifesto links the suspect to the “involuntary celibate\u201d or “incel\u201d ideology, a mostly online group of people, primarily men, who believe society unjustly denies them sexual or romantic attention.<\/p>\n
Police have not publicly identified the suspect.<\/p>\n
Police identified the officer killed as Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouan, 34. He had been with the force since 2021.<\/p>\n
The manifesto prompted a warning to police forces across Canada about the possibility of copycat attacks against police officers.<\/p>\n
A police spokesperson in British Columbia said forces across that province were warned after the shooting.<\/p>\n
Staff Sgt. Lindsey Houghton with the Surrey Police Service said the information was issued Monday afternoon by an intelligence-sharing unit operating out of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police British Columbia headquarters.<\/p>\n
Quebec Domestic Security Minister Ian Lafreni\u00e8re said he would refrain from commenting on details about the suspect\u2019s identity and motives since the matter is under investigation by an independent police watchdog, which investigates injuries and deaths involving police.<\/p>\n
Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada said she couldn\u2019t comment on specifics of the case but said it is important to be vigilant when there is so much hate on social media.<\/p>\n
“A lot of people are being recruited, young people. They are not on the street, they are in a different space, which is much harder to control. That\u2019s something that we\u2019re going to have to be working on with the Montreal police in the future,\u201d she said<\/p>\n
A man who used a van to kill 10 pedestrians in Toronto in 2018 was found guilty in 2021 a case that drew attention to the online world of sexual loneliness, rage and misogyny. Alek Minassian was found guilty of 10 counts of first-degree murder and 16 counts of attempted murder.<\/p>\n
