The ZAKA organization appears to reverse its earlier announcement about the identity of a Jewish man killed during a shooting in a Jewish neighborhood in Montreal.

The organization now says that Michael Mizrachi was seriously wounded in the shooting and is in critical condition, with his family asking for prayers.

Montreal police have confirmed that a civilian was killed in the shooting alongside a police officer and the suspect. None of their identities have been officially released by authorities.
