The man responsible for killing eight people in Edmonton’s worst mass killing in recent history has been identified by sources as 53-year-old Phu Lam.

Six adults, between ages 25 and 50, and two children under age 10 were found in two separate residences in Edmonton on Monday night.

Police spokesman Scott Pattison confirmed that the seven people found dead at a home in north Edmonton were shot and killed first. The shooter then went to a home in the Haddow neighbourhood of south Edmonton where he killed Cyndi Duong, 37.

Duong's body was discovered when police responded to a weapon's complaint at 6:53 p.m. MT Monday. They went to the north Edmonton house at 8:28 p.m. to check on the welfare of a potentially suicidal man but found nothing unusual.

3. Not sure I'm reading this right, were they called out to the

home and found nothing wrong and then later were called again and that is when they discovered the original reason for call?

4. Every time I hear about one of these murder-suicides, it reminds me of this.

I knew the Dial family quite well.
