EDMONTON—Police in Edmonton are trying to piece together why a candlelight vigil for a missing 32-year-old mother and teacher ended in violence. Dozens of people turned out near city hall Sunday evening in support of Nadia Atwi, a Lebanese woman who disappeared Dec 8. During the speeches Atwi’s husband, Ali Fneich, ran from the crowd and jumped into a van for protection following what had initially been a peaceful event. More shouting and confrontations broke out before police arrived. Emergency crews placed a woman in an ambulance for treatment of minor injuries.
