A stagehand who survived the 2012 Quebec election night shooting that killed a colleague testified today at a civil trial over the police response at the event.

Guillaume Parisien described how he was called at the last minute to help take down the stage at Montreal’s Metropolis concert hall, arriving not long before the shooting began on the night of Sept. 4, 2012.
