A suspect killed six people, including four children, in a violent incident in Ottawa. The victims were not Canadian citizens. The police have arrested an adult male and are investigating the case.

Members of the coroner's office talk at the scene of a homicide where six people were found dead in the Ottawa suburb of Barrhaven on March 7, 2024. Ottawa Police say a suspect killed six people, including four children, and left another person injured in what the mayor said was one of the worst incidents of violence in the city’s history.

Police said they had arrested an adult male but otherwise released few details about the killings other than to say they didn’t believe it was a case of intimate-partner violence. A news conference was planned for Thursday afternoon. Sri Lanka’s high commission in Ottawa confirmed that the people who died were not Canadian citizens. The high commission said the father survived but his wife and children died, adding it is in touch with their family members in the country’s capital of Colombo. Ottawa Police said officers responded to 911 calls before 11 p.m. on Wednesday night. A seventh person was also injured and sent to hospital with non life-threatening injuries
