City of Hamilton honours Toronto shooting victims

The City of Hamilton is taking some steps to honour the victims of Sunday’s mass shooting in Toronto.

Flags outside Hamilton city hall are at half-staff.

The popular Hamilton sign will be lit white with the letters “TO” in blue.

In the wake of the terrible shooting tragedy on the #Danforth our thoughts are with the wounded victims and those senselessly killed: 10-year-old Julianna Kozis and 18-year-old Reese Fallon who was to attend #McMaster to study nursing this fall. #HamOnt

A lone gunman opened fire on Toronto’s Danforth Ave. on Sunday night, killing two people and injuring 13 others.

Police have identified the man as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain.

He was found dead after exchanging fire with police.

It’s not clear if Hussain was killed by police fire or if he took his own life.

His family says he had been dealing with mental health issues prior to the shooting.

A news organization linked to ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders has issued a statement saying there is no evidence to support that claim at this time.

Investigators say they are reviewing all angles including Hussain’s online activity and will be speaking to those who knew him.
