Serious or not, it's feeble if you can't even spell it correctly.

Makes one wonder if the victims said or did at the 7-11 something to cause the gunman to snap and run them down. Definitely looks like this wasn't random, and was in response to something.

Sounds like a love triangle to me. Maybe a jealous ex or something.

The dude shot five people including himself... this sounds like a much more complicated shape than a triangle.

Well every news station is reporting a different number. Either way I think it's a jealous ex.

Perhaps but they were coming from Lethbridge and left Lethbridge at 1 am. The incident occurred at 3:30 am. The jealous ex followed them for 2.5 hours on the highway?

From the PEI Guardian

Quote:
Mitch MacLean, 20 of Cornwall, and Tanner Craswell of Charlottetown, who had just celebrated his 22 birthday on Wednesday, were shot to death just north of Claresholm, Alberta at approximately 3:30 a.m. while on the way to the Calgary airport to return home for Christmas.

Also shot but now recovering in hospital is Shayna Conway, formerly of the Parkdale district of Charlottetown. She is recovering at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary after being transported by ground ambulance.
Another woman from Lethbridge, Alberta, was also shot and killed. Her ex-boyfriend is considered to be the shooter in the case. He committed suicide following the shooting.

In all there were five people involved, two men and a woman dead at the scene, one man who later died after being airlifted by helicopter to hosptital, and Conway as the lone survivor.

Ugh... This is awful.

Puckluck seems to be right with the ex-boyfriend angle.

Very strange, either way.

If that timeline is correct they must have stopped for a long time as it is about a 45 minute drive to Claresholm from Lethbridge.

Pretty large crime scene, I came through there this morning (unaware of the incident) and they had the entire community blocked off. Looong detour around.
Pretty scary stuff.

Sounds like that's exactly what it was.

My Associate tells me they had roadblocks around High River yesterday, stopping everyone and asking questions as to birth dates, why are you here, where are you going and what not. As though they were looking for someone else.
