Montreal police officers who shot and killed a man last spring will not face charges.
The incident took place on May 31, 2015, when officers responded to 9-1-1 calls regarding a man attacking a woman.
When officers arrived on the scene they ordered René Gallant to take his hands off the woman's neck and put his hands up.
Instead, the man grabbed a knife and lunged at officers.
Two officers drew their weapons and fired a total of five bullets at him. He was taken to hospital with serious injuries and died of his wounds.
The Director of Criminal and Penal Prosecutions notes that the facts reported by the police were confirmed by witnesses.
