Court-imposed conditional sentence against Bobbie Hallaert that expired nearly one year before this week’s murder suicide that included the slaying of three children
The man believed to have killed four people, including three children, in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., in what police described as a case of intimate-partner violence had faced a court order to stay away from guns and alcohol after pleading guilty to assaulting a police officer two years ago.
He then went to a second house and killed three children – six, seven and 12 years old – and shot another woman, who survived, before killing himself. Police have not confirmed the names of the victims or described any of their relationships to their attacker, but have said he was involved in previous domestic violence incidents, without elaborating.
Ginger Gamble, who lives across the street from Ms. Sweeney’s home, said the woman was a “beautiful person” and identified Mr. Hallaert as her romantic partner. A vigil for all of the victims is scheduled for Friday evening in Sault Ste. Marie. ” in the past, including for one incident “in the days previous” to the massacre. Yet none of these events appear to have given rise to criminal charges or a renewed weapons ban against Mr. Hallaert.
Mr. Hallaert was also identified as the man behind the shootings by one of his relatives. “It’s just tragic, I hope he rots in hell,” Dirk Hallaert told The Canadian Press in an interview.
