Northern Quebec town in shock after stabbings leave 4 dead, including suspect
AKULIVIK, Que. — A woman who saw police fatally shoot a man suspected of killing three people in this northern Quebec village says she hasn’t been able to sleep since Saturday’s incident.
Meeko Aliqu said she ran outside of her home after her 17-year-old son told her there had been a stabbing, and witnessed the confrontation between the police officers and the 19-year-old suspect.
“The police officer said ‘Drop it! Drop it!’ in Inuktitut,” she told The Canadian Press in a phone interview.
She said officers with Kativik Regional Police fired when the suspect did not drop his knife.
