Quebec provincial police say the standoff that started after a police officer was killed in northern Quebec has ended.

Sgt. Daniel Thibodeau says the man involved in the standoff was found dead inside the home in Kuujjuaq, Que. this afternoon.

Officers had blocked off the area after an officer was shot and killed late Saturday while responding to a domestic dispute involving a man and a woman.

The officer who was killed has been identified as 27-year-old Steve Dery of Ottawa.

A second officer was wounded but his injuries aren't life threatening.

Police say the woman managed to escape from the home without injury.
