Residents of British Columbia's southern Okanagan will gather this evening for a candlelight vigil to honour four people shot to death in a targeted attack in Penticton.
The vigil will be held in Gyro Park in the city's downtown, just a few blocks from a duplex where 71-year-old Rudi Winter died Monday in the first of two shootings.
"Any store I walk into -- restaurants, coffee shops -- people are talking about it. It's affected everyone," she said. Matthew Baran, executive director of the Ooknakane Friendship Centre in Penticton, said it's not uncommon for the community to rally behind others in times of tragedy.
