MONTREAL — A 19-year-old man was shot and killed by police in northern Quebec early Saturday morning after a series of stabbings that left three people dead and two injured, Quebec’s police watchdog said.
The independent investigations unit said its information suggests the suspect broke into three homes in the remote village of Akulivik during the night and stabbed five people, including a child around 10 years old who is among the fatalities.
The two surviving victims were in critical condition as of Saturday afternoon.
In a statement, the investigations unit said police intercepted the man as he was preparing to enter a fourth residence while armed with a knife.
