It is one of the worst cases of mass murder in Manitoba history.

At least nine shots were fired from a 9mm handgun.

Two victims were found dead at the scene and two others were taken to hospital, where they later succumbed to their wounds. Four of the five victims were shot in the head, while the fifth victim, Shawn Marko, was shot three times in the chest.
