I don’t want to post this separately, but the CBC has a separate article about shooter: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/synagogue-shooting-suspect-9.7355704

CW for this one too.

A summary avoiding graphic details and slurs:

  • Shooter was released from the military for refusing to be vaccinated (on religious grounds).
  • Shooter blamed immigrants for not being able to find work
  • Police declined to comment on whether any “manifesto” was left behind, but audio recordings during the event make it clear the attack was intended to target Jewish people.
  • The shooter had multiple weapons and “significant” ammunition.
