Live on CBC right now,some kind of shootout on Brookside Dr this morn,4 dead(presuming the gunman is one of those?)
I just cringe every time something like this happens,with the inevitable political grandstanding and calling for gun bans.

I wonder if this is gang related, or something more sinister?

I'm guessing it's a domestic thing?
Freddytown doesn't have gang violence,and the incident is in a quiet residential area.
Either that or another one of Jihadi Justin's returning "foreign travellers".....a Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadan.😡

Just heard on the radio that two of the dead were police officers and it is still an active situation.

Edit: another news site said they have the shooter in custody.

Four dead and now the taxpayers will pay to house the shooter, it would have been better if the shooter was killed by the police. And once again, the firearm will be blamed for the tragedy.

You are absolutely correct. Waiting to hear for the "was previously arrested for..." and "sources say shooter suffered from..."

Big question is WHY ???? As a society, we've developed ourselves into a position where too many people feel cornered, with no escape. Life is becoming way too complicated and ever more so, for an increasing number of people to deal with. Put too many rats in a box and they start killing each other.

according to the new confrence the officer attend to the 2 victim laying on the ground , they where fired upon so it might be a rifle the shooter was using .
very very sad situation for both afficers and their familys , they each have 3 children and their spouse keep them in our prayers

Condolences to the victims.

Clearly the Liberals want to ban guns and are trying to get the votes to do so. Stay silent at your own peril.

Ralph Goodale already is manipulating stats.

Looks like the MSM is now pushing hard on the term "long gun". By the end of the week I'd expect the feds to announce some kind of "crackdown" on rifles of all kinds with an end goal of total firearms confiscation. The Liberals sure don't waste any time riding a tragedy to push their agenda on law abiding Canadians.

Has the firearm(s?) type or caliber been identified?

Were the victim's shot inside or outside the apartment?

Its only noted that it was a 'long gun', no mention of its chambering or whether it was restricted or not. They did note he was firing from an elevated position (upper floor window, presumably his own suite) and the photos of the window in question with bullet holes in it matches up. My understanding is that all of the victims were outside., the couple was reportedly loading their car for a weekend outing after their respective work days.

I'm hoping it was not a restricted firearm because it will garner a knee-jerk reaction by Anti's
