Shooting at wedding center, two people killed

Canada A shooting occurred in the parking lot of a wedding reception center in Ottawa, leaving two people dead and six injured.

The shooting occurred at 10:21 p.m. on September 2 (9:21 a.m. on September 3, Hanoi time) at the Infinity convention center in the Canadian capital Ottawa, when two wedding parties were taking place there.

Ottawa police said the two people killed were Said Mohamed Ali, 26, and Abdishakur Abdi-Dahir, 29, both from Toronto, and six people were injured. No suspects have been arrested.

"Investigators are reviewing video and taking statements from people at the scene. We will provide a suspect description to the public as soon as it is available," said Ottawa police chief Eric Stubbs.

A witness named Nico said chaos ensued after the shooting, with people running in different directions. "A few shots were heard in a short period of time, followed by screaming, then another round of shots, probably 15-16 shots," Nico said. Some people living near the scene of the shooting said they heard 20-25 shots.

Ottawa police said there was no indication the shooting was motivated by hate crimes “related to race or religion,” but did not rule out the possibility. Chief Stubbs said the possibility of gang-related activity would be closely examined.

Gun violence has increased in some Canadian cities in recent years. Compared to 2009, the number of gun-related crimes in this country increased by 81%.
