A young girl who was seriously injured in Inukjuak, Que., during a Nunavik Police Service intervention has died, according to the the Kativik Regional Government.

Quebec's police watchdog, the Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI), said two people were injured during a shootout with police on Dec. 20. In a news release published Tuesday, the BEI confirmed one of the people involved has since died but did not identify the deceased, citing the ongoing investigation.

“No further information can be released,” the BEI said.

According to the community's mayor, the two people injured were a man in his 30s and his six-year-old daughter.

Cops murdered a 6 yr old girl and I can almost guarantee you they'll get off ... because they always do.

Oh great! I was wondering what the facts were, they didn't mention them in the article, but it seems like you know them all.

Why was there a shooting? What causes it to escalate to that point?

"Reports of an armed person endangering others. The BEI said the person and police exchanged gunfire."

So some dude was being an asshole had a gun. A shootout occurred with police and it's likely that the police accidentally hit his daughter who was in the house at the same time.

I'm not saying the police are good here, but it's pretty hard to say just based on that information that the cops did anything wrong.

Now it could come back that the cops went off all Rambo and lit up the house for no reason, but it could also come back that asshole was shooting at them and they were just returning fire and dude had his daughter lined up right behind him in another room.

So, the best option is to wait and find out what the real situation is.
