‘He was my only supporter,’ mother tells coroner’s inquest into Nunavut RCMP shooting

When he was about eight years old, Charles Qirngnirq took an interest in fixing things like snowmobiles and enjoyed hunting around his Nunavut community – skills he learned from his grandfather.“He was my only supporter. He was my hunter. He was my mechanic,” she told the first day of a coroner’s inquest Monday.“Losing a child after ... raising them, it’s really difficult,” she said through tears, sometimes covering her face with a tissue.

A six-person jury, coroner’s officer and counsel gathered in a gymnasium-like room in Gjoa Haven’s community hall, where an Inukshuk figure made of black panels scales a back wall. The roar of all-terrain vehicles often made it difficult to hear some of the testimony. Two RCMP officers stationed in the community drove down the dirt road to the airport and confronted Qirngnirq as he walked over the tundra and away from the airport toward the hamlet.
