The victims killed in a shooting in Langley, British Columbia earlier this week have been identified by homicide investigators.
Police shared the update Thursday morning, days after a suspect shot several people in Langley.
One of the victims has been identified as 60-year-old Paul David Wynn, who died outside Creek Stone Place.
“Paul was a role model for the family he worked so hard for with everything he had,” Wynn’s family said in a statement shared by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team.
The second is 43-year-old Stephen Furness, who died at the bus stop in Langley City.
“We hope that Stephen’s tragic death will draw attention to the plight of the homeless and vulnerable in society,” Furness’ family said in a statement. “Love from your family.”
A woman, who has not been identified, was taken to a hospital with critical injuries Monday and another man was shot in the leg. Both are 26 years old and are still in hospital.
“We learned that there are people in the community who are looking for their friends and loved ones and wondering if they were victims,” said Sgt. David Lee in a news release.
“We hope this identification will help the public understand who is involved and determine if there are others at large.”
The shooting suspect, Jordan Daniel Goggin, was shot and killed by police. Investigators said they are still working to determine a possible motive.
Police earlier said the shooting began around midnight. The first was reported near 203A Street near Fraser Highway. Another shooting was reported at 3 a.m., followed by one at 5 a.m. and a fourth at 5:45 a.m.
British Columbians were alerted to the unfolding incident when an emergency alert was sent to cellphones around 6:20 a.m. The alert warned of multiple gunshot scenes and asked people to stay away from the area. Later alerts reported that the suspect “no longer poses a threat” and ultimately the threat to the public had passed.
