MISTISSINI – Quebec provincial police say two men in their 30s were killed in a double murder Wednesday evening that has shaken a First Nation community in northern Quebec.
The two men were found inside a bullet-ridden vehicle following multiple reports of gunshots on a street in Mistissini, a Cree community located along the shore of Lake Mistassini, 600 kilometres northwest of Quebec City.
Earlier Thursday, the Cree Nation of Mistissini announced the community was under lockdown after a fatal shooting that had caused “multiple fatalities.”That lockdown was lifted by the Cree Nation of Mistissini before noon on Thursday.
“My thoughts are with the Cree community,” he said.
Indigenous Services Minister Mandy Gull-Masty, a former grand chief of the Cree Nation and the local MP for the area, said she was saddened by the tragic events.
