The driver of a pickup truck that slammed into a group of pedestrians in Amqui, Que. on Monday afternoon did so intentionally and chose his victims at random, the police said.
Provincial police have identified Steeve Gagnon, 38, an Amqui resident, as the driver.
He turned himself in after the fact. He has been arrested and is expected to be charged later today.
Gérald Charest, 65, and Jean Lafrenière, 73, were killed and nine others were injured in the incident.
