Abdullah Shaikh, un homme de 26 ans, a été abattu par les policiers lors d'une opération policière. Il était le principal suspect dans une série d'homicides qui ont secoué le Grand Montréal. Selon la famille de Shaikh, il souffrait de graves problèmes de santé mentale et avait été médicamenté.

Coroner Géhane Kamel has filed a report on the 2022 shooting deaths in Quebec, recommending that the province create a dedicated court to deal with mental health cases. She also wants Canada's Public Security Ministry to tighten regulations of the federal Firearms Act to govern the online sale of components that can be used to construct fully functional firearms. The report was filed in relation to the deaths of four individuals, including three who were fatally shot by a man with a history of mental illness, who investigators believe constructed the firearms from parts purchased online.
