Landlord in Ontario allegedly shot and killed two tenants, barricaded himself in home

Hamilton police say an engaged couple embroiled in a landlord-tenant dispute were shot dead as they fled their attacker on Saturday and “are truly innocent victims.”

Sgt. Steve Bereziuk says a 27-year-old female educational assistant and a 28-year-old male electrician were shot dead just outside the home they shared in the neighbourhood of Stoney Creek. Their names have not been released.

No one should die over something like this and while it is cold of me to mention it I am interested in knowing the details of the rent dispute. Small landlords suffer at the hands of bad tenants in this province just as tenants suffer at the hands of bad landlords, our politicians are to blame.
