- The family announced the civil action Tuesday as the BEI investigation into the September shooting continues into its third month.
- Family representatives say a responding Longueuil officer shot Nooran Rezayi twice after a 911 call reported a group of armed people.
- The BEI has confirmed that no firearm was recovered from the teen.
- The family disputes an early BEI statement about a recovered weapon, says only the officer’s gun was seized, and criticizes the watchdog’s communication.
