B.C. mill shooter guilty of first-degree murder and attempted murder
NANAIMO, B.C. — The wife and daughter of a man killed in a shooting at a Vancouver Island mill held each other and cried Wednesday as a jury found the man’s attacker guilty on four charges.
Kevin Addison, 50, was found guilty of two counts each of first-degree murder and attempted murder after using a sawed-off shotgun to kill two former co-workers and injure two others at the Western Forest Products mill in Nanaimo.
On the morning of April 30, 2014, court heard Addison fired a single shot at Michael Lunn as he arrived at work. Addison then went to the mill’s office where he shot Tony Sudar in the face and both Fred McEachern and Earl Kelly in the back. McEachern later died from his injuries.
Speaking outside B.C. Supreme Court, Lunn’s wife Marlene said she was happy that justice has been served and thanked the jury for its guilty verdicts.
