Montreal: Police investigated Tuesday the "senseless mass murder" of six adults and two children in western Canada who were apparently slain by a depressed man who then killed himself.
The killings began late Monday in the southern part of Edmonton, a city of nearly one million people in Alberta province, where a man shot to death a woman in her 30s then fled, said the city's Police Chief Rod Knecht.
The suspected killer, whose relatives said was suicidal, then headed to a residence in the north of the city, where he killed another seven people - three women, two men, a girl and a boy.
The names and ages of the victims and their killer were not immediately released. (AFP)
