Proulx on trial in Kenora

"Kill me Cop, Kill me Cop". Those were reportedly the words 39 year old Helen Proulx spoke before being shot twice in downtown Kenora on June 7th of this year.  The Grassy Narrows resident is on trial this week on four charges, including assaulting a police officer.  Constable Kathrine Moyer told the court this morning that when she came across Proulx just after 8:00 in the evening, she was cutting at her wrists and forearm in a slicing motion. She then took the knife and jabbed it into her abdomen.  Moyer says she told Proulx at least six time to drop the knife, and only fired her firearm when Proulx began to jab it in her direction.  Testimony is continuing at the Kenora Court House.
