Police believe the motives for the attacks that took place near the Château Frontenac hotel weren't terrorist attacks, rather a personal reason.
A 24 year old man who does not live in Quebec City came here with the clear intention of killing as many victims as possible.
Police said the suspect, originally from the Montreal Area, made a threat of violence in 2014. None of the names have been revealed of the injured/dead, only saying they were residents of Quebec.
The five victims were taken to a hospital, some having severe lacerations but none life threatening.
