2 dead, 5 injured in stabbing attack by man in ‘medieval clothes’ in Quebec City
Medieval clothes? So, dear Reader: jihadi, nutter, or personal revenge? We’ll start on Page 3, then change if Medieval Clothes Stabby Man turns out to be a jihadi. [IsraelTimes] Police in Quebec City early Sunday arrested a man on suspicion of killing two people and injuring five others in a stabbing rampage near the provincial legislature on Halloween.They say a man in his mid-20s has been arrested in connection with the Halloween night attacks and taken to a hospital. Police had earlier warned residents to remain indoors as they hunted for a man dressed in medieval clothing and armed with a bladed weapon who had left "multiple victims." Spokesman Etienne Doyon said police were first notified of the stabbings near the National Assembly shortly before 10:30 p.m. Saturday. The five injured victims were taken to a hospital, and a spokeswoman said their lives did not appear to be in danger. Police asked area residents to remain indoors as their investigation was ongoing. There’s no word on a possible motive for the attacks.
The police said their initial investigation did not point to an act of terrorism. “Nothing indicates to us that the suspect would have acted with motivations other than personal,” the Quebec City police wrote on Twitter. Posted by: trailing wife 2020-11-01 |
