  2. Incredibly sad and horrifying news. My sincere condolences to the family of the deceased, a life ended far too soon. Also sad to ponder are the number of lives this will touch and shatter.

  3. Our society is getting so dark that there is no value being put on a human life. My prayers are going out to Mr Arcand Faithful, family at a very sad time as this.

  4. A terribly tragic happening; and in sleepy old downtown Morinville too.

    Yet one more reason to resurrect capital punishment, in my humble opinion.

    Sincere condolences to the family.
