On July 25, 2022, Jordan Daniel Goggin attacked and shot four people between midnight and 5:45 a.m.

Wynn and Furness were both killed, a woman was seriously injured, and another man was shot in the leg. Police shot Goggin shortly after the last attack, killing him.

In his remarks at the vigil, Pastor Leith White talked about the lack of services for homeless people.

91裸聊视频淭hey are indeed vulnerable, and were exceeding vulnerable last July,91裸聊视频 White commented.

White said addressing homelessness 91裸聊视频渞equires a community to respond, a community to engage [to be] a community that will determine that it is not acceptable that there are individuals without a shelter, without a home and unable to change their circumstances on their own.91裸聊视频

White read a statement from the Wynn family that described him as a 91裸聊视频済ift,91裸聊视频 always there to help his parents without ever asking, and 91裸聊视频渁 terrific big brother.91裸聊视频

At the time of his death, Paul was in recovery and showing signs of progress, his family said.

91裸聊视频淗e went from what would be described as rock bottom to writing amazing letters. Some of these letters were about what he went through in his years on the streets and how sorry he was for letting everybody down.91裸聊视频

Stewart Furness, Steven91裸聊视频檚 father renewed his call for a new 91裸聊视频渓ow-barrier91裸聊视频 space for homeless people in Langley City, a call he said he has made in meetings with all levels of government, to no avail.

91裸聊视频淚t is a local problem, and a problem that is not being addressed, in my view,91裸聊视频 he said.

A year ago, Anita Soderberg, who works with the homeless in Langley City, called the shootings 91裸聊视频渉eartbreaking.91裸聊视频

91裸聊视频淭oday is a very tough day because it91裸聊视频檚 like we91裸聊视频檙e living it over again,91裸聊视频 Soderberg told the Langley Advance Times on Tuesday.
