The shooter in Monday night's violent attack in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., had been involved in several prior intimate partner violence investigations, police say.
The 44-year-old male gunman shot and killed four people, including three children, in a murder-suicide at two different homes in the northern Ontario community, Sault Ste. Marie Police Service said Tuesday.
A 41-year-old was found deceased at a home on Tancred Street first after a 911 call about someone breaking into the home.
Minutes later officers found a 45-year-old with gunshot wounds at a home on Second Line East and sent them to hospital.
Inside the second home was where the bodies of the children – ages 6, 7 and 12 – were found along with the gunman, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
