SAULT STE. MARIE, Ont. — A police investigation remains underway into shootings that left five people – including three children and the shooter – dead in the northern Ontario city of Sault Ste. Marie.
Investigators have not released any information on the identities of those involved but say the shootings were not a random act of violence.
Police say they first found the body of a 41-year-old, dead from a gunshot wound, around 10:20 p.m. Monday after someone called to report a break-and-enter at a home. About 10 minutes later, officers got a call for someone with a weapon at a home about three kilometres north from the previous residence and found three children – aged six, seven and 12 – shot dead, and a 45-year-old injured with a gunshot wound.
They say officers also found the 44-year-old shooter, who appeared to have died after a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Sault Ste. Marie Mayor Matthew Shoemaker says what happened is an"unspeakable tragedy" and he hopes the results of the police investigation will spur change.
