Crown Lawyer Relays Chilling Account Of Work-place Shooting In Nanaimo, B.c.

IANS, 07 Sep, 2016 01:53 PM
    NANAIMO, B.C. — A Crown lawyer says a man accused of killing two former co-workers and attempting to kill two others yelled "you know who I am" during a shooting rampage at his former workplace in Nanaimo, B.C.
     
    Prosecutor Nic Barber told the jury trial in his opening statement that evidence will show that Kevin Addison used a sawed-off shot gun to kill Michael Lunn in the parking lot of the Western Forest Products mill on April 30, 2014.
     
    Barber says the disgruntled former mill worker then moved on to the company office where he started shooting.
     
    He says Fred McEachern and Earl Kelly were shot in the back, while Tony Sudar was shot in the face.
     
    McEachern and other employees were able to subdue the man until RCMP arrived, but McEachern later died of his injuries. 
     
    Addison is accused of two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
