The northern Ontario city of Sault Ste.
Marie was in shock Tuesday after what the mayor called an"inexplicable" outburst of violence that left five people – including three children and a shooter – dead and police investigating a case of intimate partner violence.
"It is inexplicable that anybody could do this to loved ones," he told The Canadian Press in a phone interview."It is much more difficult to process and comprehend when it involves children.""The grief the families, friends, and loved ones of the victims are facing is unimaginable," he wrote in a statement."As our community grieves this tragedy, I urge everyone to please watch out for each other.
Police said they found three children – aged six, seven and 12 – shot dead in that second home and a 45-year-old who was injured with a gunshot wound. The Algoma District School Board said it was mourning the loss of three students in Sault Ste. Marie. Shoemaker, the mayor, voiced hope that the community would support those suffering in the aftermath of the tragedy, especially relatives of the victims.
