According to the spokesperson for the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), Béatrice Dorsainville, the police have been on site since 7 p.m.
It’s a lonely man who barricaded himself
she was able to confirm.
So as not to harm the operation, she might not give any other information.
The man would have fired in the direction of the police with the help of a crossbow, it was however possible to learn.
The SQ took over from the Saguenay Police Department (SPS) for this file because of the level of intervention required.
A security perimeter has been erected and the street is currently closed to traffic. The street is located near rang Saint-Paul, just south of boulevard du Royaume.
