    Six people including four children killed in Barrhaven homicide – Police

    Four kids and two grown-ups died at a house in the Barrhaven suburb of Ottawa, according to the Ottawa police.

    The police found six people dead in a two-story house on Berrigan Drive late Wednesday night. The police came after getting emergency calls at around 11 p. m

    One person has been taken into custody by the police. “Ottawa police say there is no danger to the public right now. ”

    Ottawa Police Chief Eric Stubbs said to the media that investigators don’t think the murder is a case of domestic violence or intimate partner violence.

    Stubbs says they are just beginning to look into the situation. The Ottawa Police are now looking into a serious crime.

    “We are not telling how the person was killed right now,” the chief said.

    Stubbs says the police are trying to find out how the victims and the suspect know each other.

    The police and the person who examines dead bodies are trying to figure out who the victims are. Stubbs thinks that the four children who died are all from the same family.

    “A very sad event that affected the entire city of Ottawa,” Chief Stubbs said in a different interview on Morning Live show.

    “We are definitely reaching out to everyone in the nearby area and the community to offer our help. ”

    The police said that someone was taken to the hospital in Ottawa with serious injuries, but they were not life-threatening. This happened early on Thursday morning.

    Many police cars were parked in front of a townhouse on Berrigan Drive on Thursday morning. Yellow tape from the police stops people from going to the back of the houses.

    At 9 a. m, people started taking things out of the house and putting them into a van in the driveway. The officers covered the front door with a white sheet so no one could see it.

    “”The whole neighborhood is shocked,” said Ahmed Saed to The Canadian Press.

    The Sri Lankan embassy in Ottawa said that the people who died were a family from Sri Lanka and they were not citizens of Canada. The leader says the dad is alive but his wife and kids are not.

    Mayor Mark Sutcliffe wrote on social media that the deaths of six people are one of the worst cases of violence in our city’s history.

    “I was really upset to hear about the many murders in Barrhaven,” Sutcliffe said.

    “We feel happy living in a safe area, but this news is upsetting for everyone in Ottawa. ” Ginny and I are thinking about the families and neighbors of the people who were hurt. Thank you to the people who help in emergencies and are working to help those affected by this bad event.

    On CTV Morning Live, Mayor Sutcliffe said he was very surprised and upset to learn that six people had been killed in the city.

    “It’s very worrying and I’m thinking of the families and neighbors in Barrhaven who must be really upset about what happened,” Sutcliffe said.

    “The police are helping the neighbors and the family. ”

    Councillor for Barrhaven East. Wilson Lo said, “I’m very sad to hear that six people from Barrhaven died last night. ”

    I care about their loved ones and neighbors nearby. The police have someone in custody and will do a thorough investigation. I believe they will keep us safe.

    Premier Doug Ford is very sad about the mass killings in Ottawa.

    “I am thinking about the families and friends of the six people who were killed, and the whole community in Ottawa who are struggling with this awful event,” Ford wrote on Twitter.

    Nepean MPP Lisa Macleod wrote on social media that her community is feeling shocked, sad, and heartbroken because six people, including four children, were killed.

    “We are really sad for the family and friends of the person who passed away. ”

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talked about the murder when he spoke to the news people.

    “Trudeau said that our first reactions are shock and horror at this horrible violence. ” We hope that people in the community will help and support their family and friends, as Canadians usually do. We also expect the police to do their job and keep us updated on this terrible tragedy.

    The murder happened on Berrigan Drive, close to Berrigan Elementary School and Longfields-Davidson Heights Secondary School, off of Longfields Drive. Monsignor Paul Baxter School is also close by.

    Police said that this is a sad and complicated investigation, and investigative teams are still working on Berrigan Drive.

    Barrhaven is a neighborhood in Ottawa, about 25 minutes away from downtown Ottawa.

    The names of the people who were hurt have not been made public.

    The Ottawa Catholic School Board said they are very sad about the tragic events in Barrhaven. We are thinking of and praying for everyone who has been affected.

    “As a Board, we will help our students and staff as much as we can during this tough time. ”

    The police in Ottawa will give more information about the investigation later today.

  • Freedom Convoy: The police dealt with ‘inhuman situations’, inquiry hears

    When protesters descended on the city last winter, Ottawa police did their best under “inhuman circumstances,” according to the force’s former chief.

    On Friday, Peter Sloly testified at an inquiry into Canada’s use of the Emergencies Act to end the ‘Freedom Convoy’ protests, saying that police were under enormous pressure at the time.

    The protests began on January 29 and lasted three weeks.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act on 14 February.

    Mr Sloly resigned as chief of Ottawa police on 15 February amid criticism of his force’s response to the protests.

    Testimony presented before the Public Order Emergency Commission so far has suggested the force was dealing with power struggles, communication gaps and infighting as it scrambled to control the anti-vaccine mandate and anti-government protests.

    In an emotional defence of police actions on Friday, Mr Sloly said his force tried to deal with the protests while facing a lack of resources and staffing issues.

    “It was too cold and it was too much. But they did their very best. And I am grateful to them,” he said.

    The Public Order Emergency Commission began six weeks of hearings on 13 October, and in other recent developments:

    • Some police forces were weighing bringing in military assistance in early February to help with the protests, according to tabled documents, though Mr Trudeau was saying publicly at the time he was wary of such a move.
    • Canadian intelligence services believed the protests to be driven largely by domestic concerns and did not see signs of funding from “foreign actors” despite money flowing in from Canada and elsewhere to online fundraising platforms in support of the protesters.
    • The inquiry has summoned Ontario Premier Doug Ford to testify, believing he has relevant evidence to share as his provincial government worked to end the protests with Mr Trudeau and Ottawa. Mr Ford has challenged the summons in court.

    The winter protests paralysed much of Ottawa’s city centre with hundreds of heavy trucks, while smaller, shorter-lived protests elsewhere blocked two key US-Canada border crossings.

    The protests in Ottawa – deemed an illegal blockade by police and the federal government – were eventually cleared by police on the weekend of 18 February.

    The public inquiry, which is required under law when the Emergencies Act is invoked, will hear from more witnesses over the coming weeks, including Mr Trudeau.

    His government has said that the use of the Emergencies Act – for the first time since it became law in 1988 – was a necessary “last resort” to deal with unprecedented protests.

    A final report on the inquiry’s findings will be released early next year.
