Inukjuak Mayor Bobby Epoo had previously identified the injured parties as a man in his 30s and a six-year-old girl.

Authorities have not said how the young girl sustained her injuries, including whether she was hit by a police bullet.

The 35-year-old man who allegedly exchanged fire with police was arrested and is facing charges that include illegally possessing a firearm.
