Quebec Premier Physically Confronted At Vigil For Orlando Massacre

The Canadian Press, 17 Jun, 2016 01:35 PM
    MONTREAL — A Montreal vigil for the Orlando massacre took a weird twist Thursday night when someone physically confronted Quebec Premier Philippe Couillard.
     
    Quebec provincial police said a trans advocate who had spoken at the vigil threw something at the premier.
     
    Authorities said it was too early to say whether charges would be laid.
     
    Couillard was not injured.
     
    Many of the politicians who attended the vigil were booed.
     
    Forty-nine people were killed and more than 50 wounded when a gunman opened fire inside a gay nightclub in Orlando early Sunday.
