They are being called “savages and trash and disgusting and that we should rot,” the statement said. “You believe your adopted grandfather may have attended residential school … “It doesn’t make sense and there is no reason for these types of things to happen, and it hits hard in a small community like this because we are not accustomed to these types of stories.” “As a mom, this really hits home, he is a young man and that is someone’s son, somebody’s brother, and it is a life lost,” she said. “Everyone is having a difficult time processing this and is extremely hurt,” the statement said. The OPP has said Pierzchala had been with force for just over a year and he had been notified that he had passed his 10-month probation period hours before his death. Carrique said he was “outraged” that McKenzie was out on bail at the time of the shooting.

Dave Sharpe, a single father of a family of four, can't believe his family’s bad luck — the home he just moved into earlier this month went up in flames on Tuesday evening. CTV News Windsor has learned Minister of Public Safety Marco Mendicino will be at Windsor City Hall on Dec. 20 incident at a local hotel. "I know there is a lot of interest to ensure, where possible, people who are charged with violent offences that are firearms-related are not in those positions moving forward." "I don’t recall that this has ever happened in my lifetime. "As a mom, this really hits home," said Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Bobbi Ann Brady. Pierzchala was shot and fatally injured moments after arriving on the scene.” Witness Brian Gunn told CTV News he saw a vehicle in the ditch Tuesday afternoon as he drove to gas up his vehicle nearby. "I seen that young man lying on the ground," Gunn said Wednesday, becoming emotional.
