DAVOS, Switzerland – Friday’s mass shooting at a school in La Loche, Sask., is casting a shadow over Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s final day at an international summit of financial and economic elites.
The shooting was the first thing Trudeau talked about with Lebanese Prime Minister Tammam Salam during their meeting Saturday morning at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
The RCMP confirmed that four people were killed, a number of others were wounded, and that a lone male suspect was arrested after shots rang out at the Dene community’s junior and senior high school.
