Statement by Scarborough MPs Rathika Sitsabaiesan and Dan Harris on yesterday’s tragic Scarborough shooting

We were all shaken by news of this senseless tragedy. We would like to extend our condolences to the victims, families and neighbours of those affected. Our thoughts are with our communities today as we mourn this tragic loss of life. We hope for the speedy recovery of all the other victims.

We would also like to take a moment to thank and recognise the tireless efforts of emergency responders and the crisis response teams, as well as the efforts of local residents who worked throughout the night to support their neighbours.

Today is a time for grieving those lost, wishing a speedy recovery to those injured and helping our communities through this difficult time.

Gun violence does not belong in our communities.  As we move forward, we must work together, as a community, to end the cycle of violence.
