QUEBEC - The 24-year-old man accused in the Quebec City Halloween night sword attack appeared briefly before a judge Tuesday.
Carl Girouard appeared by video conference in a Quebec City courtroom as the Crown continued to disclose more evidence in his case.
He is charged with two counts of first-degree murder and five counts of attempted murder after a man dressed in a medieval costume and wielding a Japanese-style sword went on a rampage Oct. 31 in Quebec City's historic district.
