TORONTO (AP) -- A man whose family said he suffered from psychosis and depression fired a handgun into restaurants and cafes in a lively Toronto neighborhood, killing a 10-year-old girl and an 18-year-old woman and wounding 13 others in an attack that has shaken the confidence of many in the normally safe city.

Authorities on Monday evening identified the suspect as Faisal Hussain, 29, of Toronto, who died in an exchange of gunfire with police. It was not immediately clear whether he killed himself or was killed by police.

The mass shooting in Toronto's Greektown district Sunday night came just three months after a van struck and killed 10 people in an apparent attack directed at women.

A statement from the family of Hussain said their son had severe mental health challenges that the struggled with psychosis and depression. They said medications did not help him and the interventions of professionals were unsuccessful. "While we did our best to seek help for him throughout his life of struggle and pain, we could never imagine that this would be his devastating and destructive end," the Hussain family said.

"Our hearts are in pieces for the victims and for our city as we all come to grips with this terrible tragedy. We will mourn those who were lost for the rest of our lives."

It wasnt much of a mental challenge to decide to kill people, then lock and load a weapon and make it work effectively.

Islamists are trained this way from birth.

"...severe mental health challenges..."


Even stating that to media, my suspicion is that his family is brimming with pride over his murderous actions.

"...family was coached..."


GMTA. We were thinking the same thing almost simultaneously when posting above.
Hussain family issues their “official” response yet likely act far differently in private.

You would have thought the PM would have bought a clue when the French Canadians were killed in Africa a few years ago.
I had family members who knew them.

The PM showed up for the funeral and talked....and talked.

They are correct. Sharia is a mental health issue.

I said they would say he was off his meds. I see this is a new excuse.

Reason and thinking capacity is severely damaged by exposure to Islam.

Obfuscation, misdirection, media marching orders to minimize the Islamic terrorist angle and use a fraudulent excuse.
