Canadian police are warning of potential copycat attacks following a deadly shootout in Côte-des-Neiges that left three dead, including police officer Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, 34. The shooter, identified as Seth Hatfield, 25, was killed by police after opening fire from a hotel room window.13
The incident has raised alarms due to its connection to incel ideology, with a 104-page manifesto linked to Hatfield circulating online. The document, described as an anti-capitalist text promoting violent misogyny, blames feminism, liberalism, and capitalism for male suffering and outlines a vision for a “new order” that would restrict women's freedoms.4
In the aftermath, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police issued a bulletin warning police forces across the country about the manifesto, which allegedly encourages violence against law enforcement. The alert urged officers to “exercise extreme caution and remain highly vigilant.”
The manifesto ends with a chilling call to action: “Be unflinching, go forth, and KILL THEM ALL!” It lists various targets, including international pornography companies and influential figures in finance and politics. The attack has also sparked concerns about antisemitism, as it occurred in a neighborhood with a large Jewish community.
This tragic event marks the third time a Canadian police officer has been killed on duty this month, raising serious questions about the rise of extremist ideologies in Canada.
“Canadian police have issued warnings about potential copycat attacks after a deadly shooting incident in Côte-des-Neiges. The shooting is linked to a manifesto promoting incel ideology, raising concerns about public safety.”
