A timeline of events from the deadly La Loche shooting one year ago
Four people were killed and seven wounded in a mass shooting at a high school and a home in the northern Saskatchewan community of La Loche a year ago. A student, who was 17 at the time, has pleaded guilty and is to be sentenced this spring.
Here is a timeline of events:
Jan. 22, before 1 p.m. — Two teen brothers are gunned down in a home on Dene Crescent. There is a chilling exchange between friends chatting online. “Just killed 2 ppl,” a young man writes to his friends. “Bout to shoot ip the school.”
Jan. 22, shortly after 1 p.m. — Police begin receiving calls from frantic students and teachers who say there is a shooter in the high school. Students, just returning from lunch, flee for their lives. Some run for the doors, others hide in classrooms and in gym dressing rooms.
