I don't get it. They arrested her, but they haven't yet charged her. Looks like he's facing charges as well.
Are you saying that there is no reason to do an investigation?

I don't see the difference.
Is it cuz the write up stated 'in hospital' and didn't use an article before the noun?

You guys have "constables" and we have real cops?
"....may have been...."????

yes Canada sucks
Anyone follow what MMMMMMMMike is trying to say?
well, Montreal IS in the French part of Canada...
She didn't blow his head off with an extremely large and awesome handgun and they are actually considering CHARGING her?
OK so if this was in the US she would have killed him with a 50cal revolver then gotten away without any questions being asked?
I agree with the gun part but here in Amerika they still investigate this kind of stuff.

Depends on the state. We can blow them away here. Some states REQUIRE you to flee.
Florida "Castle Doctrine" law
One: It establishes, in law, the presumption that a criminal who forcibly enters or intrudes into your home or occupied vehicle is there to cause death or great bodily harm, therefore a person may use any manner of force, including deadly force, against that person.
Two: It removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in any place you have a right to be. You no longer have to turn your back on a criminal and try to run when attacked. Instead, you may stand your ground and fight back, meeting force with force, including deadly force, if you reasonably believe it is necessary to prevent death or great bodily harm to yourself or others. [This is an American right repeatedly recognized in Supreme Court gun cases.]
Three: It provides that persons using force authorized by law shall not be prosecuted for using such force.
It also prohibits criminals and their families from suing victims for injuring or killing the criminals who have attacked them.

Where?
I know castle laws don't exist everywhere but I've never heard of that little tenet anywhere. That's definitely not what the cop in my underoos chase told me.
it's not that you are required to flee, but as dog mentioned there is something called "duty to retreat". Not sure which states use it and which don't.
This would make fantastic out of context signature.

I like this idea,
Say you live in downtown big city (choose your own).
Live on 5th floor or higher (choose height you can't survive the landing).
Intruder breaks in the front door, you;
A. Jump to your death.
B. Get attacked to death.
I love scenarios, for every law there is logical reason the law is flawed.
