A press release from the gendarmes states that they had difficulty clearing the way for the emergency services to enter the crime scene as there was a huge crowd of people who gathered around those that were injured.
The woman (suspect) was immediately placed under psychiatric care for an expert evaluation and the injured were taken to hospital for treatment.
In an unrelated case that same evening, two motorists were detained during a routine traffic control when they were found to be in possession of illicit drugs. One had 118 grams of cannabis and the other 6 grams of cannabis. The former was summoned to court while the latter was released with a fine.
The press release also states that on October 6, a car thief was detained by Gendarmes suspected of stealing a car at gun point from a man in Orient Bay on September 11. Fortunately for the victim the vehicle was found in tact.
On Wednesday October 5, Gendarmes arrested two suspects implicated in the theft of a gold chain from a female college student in French Cul-de-Sac on September 30. The investigation revealed that the two suspects had committed the same offense on September 20 in the same location. They would approach victims on their scooter and snatch items of jewellery before speeding away. One of the suspects was transferred to a closed education facility in Guadeloupe while the other was summoned to the juvenile court.
