MONTREAL – A 36-year-old northern Quebec man appeared in court on Tuesday in connection with a Dec. 20 exchange of gunfire with Nunavik Police Service officers that turned tragic.
A person, who local authorities have identified as a six-year-old girl, died 10 days after being found injured inside a home in Inukjuak, Que., following the shooting.
Andrew Naluktuk is facing several charges, including discharging a firearm at two peace officers and assaulting the same officers with a weapon.
He is also facing a charge of assault against another person and unlawfully causing bodily harm to a child.
Naluktuk made a brief court appearance by video conference on Tuesday, and his case was postponed until Jan. 23.
Quebec’s police watchdog has said Nunavik officers exchanged gunshots with an individual outside a home in the community just after 3:30 a.m., after they were called about a person who had allegedly posed a danger to other occupants.
The Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes has said the individual was injured during the police intervention and was arrested, while a second person who was seriously hurt inside the residence later died. Officials have not provided a cause of death.
