Quebec Coroner Says Man Who Killed Forces Soldier In 2014 Wanted More Victims

  • Quebec Coroner Says Man Who Killed Forces Soldier In 2014 Wanted More Victims
MONTREAL — A coroner says a Quebec man who killed a Canadian Forces warrant officer in 2014 wanted more victims.
 
Patrice Vincent, 53, was killed in the parking lot of a shopping mall in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu when Martin Couture-Rouleau plowed into him and a fellow soldier, who survived.
 
Couture-Rouleau had known jihadist sympathies.
 
Coroner Andre Dandavino's report contains excerpts from a conversation Couture-Rouleau had with a 911 operator just minutes after Vincent's death.
 
The report says Couture-Rouleau called 911 and said he was not going to surrender because he might run into another soldier and that he would kill him.
 
Earlier, Couture-Rouleau tried to attack a police officer, while Dandavino noted he later had two knives in his hand as he tried to charge another officer before he was killed.
