Reddit says this is the license plate police were looking for in connection with the man and his daughter that were killed last night in the NW.

This is that story:

Sounds like maybe he killed his wife and her father?

Calgary police have issued an emergency alert for an armed man they say is a suspect in the double murder of a father and his daughter.
Officials say Benedict Kaminski, 38, is believed to be armed.
This is a breaking news update, previous story follows...
Calgary police are investigating the death of a father and daughter on Sunday night as a double homicide and believe it's the result of a domestic incident.

The article has a few more details, but not a lot is known at the moment.

That FB page is a pretty sad scroll if that is him. Two kids and a wife that appeared to adore him. Got into a master's program. Gone.

We need to normalize seeking help for mental health and pay for it like any other essential medical intervention.

I haven't seriously used FB in over a decade now, but don't you have to actively go out of your way in the settings labyrinth to allow randos to comment on your photos and activity, or to post on your feed, etc.?

The wife's page is more up to date as well. Pics of him completing his Master's just last year and a third kid. Definitely a horrible situation going on. The pics there match the ones police are circulating, he's older and a little heavier than the ones on his page.

The important question is are the kids safe/being watched over (and not by fugitive dad).

I assume if he had the kids, there would be an Amber alert and/or it would have been noted in the original warning.

Recent additional skill sets in programming, data science, database, and web development.

I bring positive can-do energy to the teams I'm part off with a high degree of personal determination to engage challenging problems. Being a good engineer means constantly improving my knowledge and skill set for life.

Indeed.

Is anyone else’s phone getting continuous alerts. I have gotten this same alert over 80 times and dismissing it doesn’t seem to help. I’m with freedom
