The person had a spout of blood in their face and neck. We couldn't even see the details of his face. A quote from A witness present at the Longueuil courthouse during the attack I saw a well-known interpreter – of Asian origin – bloodied, heading towards the bathroom screaming. We could see a lot of blood flowing down his person. I can't tell you where his injuries were, said Patrick Davis, a criminal lawyer. 30 seconds to a minute later, an individual was seen who appeared to be fleeing. Presumably he had fears. He told us: "Be careful, he has a gun." A quote from Patrick Davis, criminal-lawyer The courthouse remains open. Citizens are, however, asked to only come to the courthouse if they have to.
