Chocolate Lake is a popular swimming hole in the area and young children and families can often be found there on a nice day.
“When there’s violence in our community, it’s concerning,” said MacLeod.
“At this point, (police) don’t believe it to be a random event, but we would hope that if anyone has information in relation to the release, they would contact us.”
