Class 1: Montreal, CA

Keeping an eye on the news pays off eventually: when I caught a glimse of a police shooting in Montreal I gave the event my full attention. On February 5, 2011 police shot and killed a man in Montreal. A sad but not uncommon occurance. What was strange are the following:
  • The man's name and background were not released.
  • The events leading upto the shooting were not released.
  • The men carrying the bodybag were wearing gas masks.
  • There was a military officer seen in the news footage.
  • No further information can be found on the event.
The news report also mentioned a similar event (with no details provided) which occured only a few days before. Also, only three days later all information on this event seems to be missing from news websites. This is strange considering all the shootings and gang violence in Montreal and how most of it does not seem to be censored but this has been.

No information about the man shot was released, for instance his history, was he in a gang or has a history of violence? Or was he an ideal citizen suddenly gone wild? Nor were the circumstances of the shooting given. Were there witnesses? Was he armed? -A dead give away to if it is a zombie or a crazed human is if the target tries to use a weapon of some sort.- Did he try to bite or otherwise attack anyone? Who called it into police? All questions left completely unanswered about this event.

The response to this event seems strange for a run of the mill shooting as well. The footage showed a large number of police and medical staff on hand. Also anyone shown near the bag holding the corpse of the man shot was wearing a gas mask. With the exception of one Canadian Armed Forces officer who was caught in one of the clips over seeing the body being put into an ambulance. This is something many people might not catch but instantly raises a red flag. Why would military personal be on site after a police shooting, even one that ended in a death? It would seem to be a local law enforcement issue, not something to involve the military, unless something larger was at stake. Esspecially if a number of similar events have been taking place in Montreal.

The details breakdown-
Location: Montreal, Canada
Time: Febraury 5, 2011
Infected: 1 (estimate)
Response: Police with military suporvison.
Media Coverage: Some footage, no details.

My suggestion: if you live in Montreal, or plan to be visiting soon like I will be, keep a close watch on any events the involve shootings or missing persons. The prolbem is because of all the gang violence in Montreal it may be hard to spot which is which. For instance a shooting which left two dead, two wounded and one man missing in the Famingo in Old Montreal, I would normally pass off as gang violence, even with my suspecious scrutiny but given the other strange shootings even this seemingly obvious gang hit might be something even scarier.

Stay vigilent, may the infection never reach you, and those close to you have the resolve to do what is needed should you be so unfortunate,
Mike D.
