Canada’s Public Safety Minister Bill Blair called it a “senseless act of violence.”

Police described the suspect as a man in his 20s who has had run-ins with the police before.

“So our suspect, I can tell you that he’s had police interactions in the past,” Sgt. Frank Jang of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said. “He does have a criminal record and obviously one of the priorities is to look into his past. And I said it before, but the question of why?”

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said all Canadians are keeping the victims in their thoughts and wishing them a speedy recovery.
