Gunman refuses to talk
NZPA-AFP Quebec City A gunman, who wounded two people outside Quebec Province’s Legislature yesterday, was still refusing to talk with a police robot late last night. The only communication with the flat where Jean Claude Nadeau, aged 39, was barricaded with half-a-dozen hunting rifles and shotguns, was by a remotecontrolled robot consisting of a camera, loud-speaker, and microphone on wheels. But Nadeau had spurned several approaches by this police messenger since afternoon.
Nadeau earlier informed a brother that he had fired at pedestrians and motorists because he had been unable to sleep the previous night after the sub-machine-gun killing of three people inside the Legislative Assembly by a French-Canadian soldier on Wednesday. Nadeau was said to be depressed because he had lost his job in a shoe factory.
