Montreal police and the association representing officers are mourning the officer who was killed by an active shooter in Montreal on Monday.
Police identified the officer as 34-year-old Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, who got his start with the force in 2021.
A statement from the police force says his death is a great loss and he will be remembered for his sense of duty, devotion and professionalism.
Yves Francoeur, head of the police brotherhood, said in a statement that Benredouane was a man of honour and courage who will never be forgotten.

Dagher said he had met Benredouane a few times and that he was a great man and officer.
