Four people, including three children, were killed in a shooting in northern Ontario. The shooter, identified as Bobbie Hallaert, took his own life. The incident is believed to be a case of intimate partner violence. Community members gathered to support each other and mourn the victims. Angie Sweeney, the mother of the children, was identified as one of the victims. Her father called for respect and empathy for the shooter's family, who also experienced the same tragedy.
Four people were killed, including three children, and a woman was injured at two different locations in the northern Ontario city before the shooter took his own life in what police have called a case of intimate partner violence.
Angie Sweeney's father, Brian Sweeney, thanked those attending for their support, calling his daughter a beautiful soul with a big heart that ultimately cost her her life. "She deserves the same respect I do because we both feel the same pain. And she's the most beautiful woman in the world and she's one of my daughter's best friends, so it would mean a lot to me that people show respect to that family, because it is not their responsibility for this tragic situation."
