A Nunavik man faces 16 charges including making threats and reckless discharge of a firearm after a hostage-taking situation in Inukjuak late June 2.
Kativik Regional Police Force officers were called to a home in this Hudson coast community of about 1,600 that evening when nearby residents reported hearing gunshots.
Police later discovered an armed man had fired multiple times while he held a woman hostage in the home.
The KRPF brought in three officers from Puvirnituq, along with negotiators from the Sûreté du Québec provincial police force, to create a perimeter around the home.
Police say the man surrendered the following day, June 3, at 11:30 a.m. Nobody was physically injured in the incident.
The man will appear in court June 8.
