Canadian police say driver targeted pedestrians in fatal Quebec incident

A man who ran down a group of pedestrians with a van in the Canadian province of Quebec, killing two elderly men and injuring nine other people, did so intentionally, police said on Tuesday.

A 38-year-old man was arrested after the collision, which took place on Monday in Amqui, located about 400 miles (650 km) northeast of Montreal.

"What the probe shows is the actions were premeditated. (It) also shows that the people were targeted at random," said Claude Doiron, a spokesperson for the provincial police force.
