Toronto shooting suspect identified as Faisal Hussain, family says he had 'severe mental health challenges'

Canadian authorities identified the gunman who killed two people and injured 13 others in a lively Toronto neighborhood Sunday night as 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, whose family claimed had suffered from "severe mental health challenges."

The Special Investigations Unit of the Ontario Provincial Police said a member of Hussain's immediate family and a "family representative" confirmed the gunman's identity.

Moments after Hussain's identity was released, his family issued a statement to multiple media outlets saying he had been "struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life."
Had it ready in advance, eh?

#7  My thoughts, too, Gorb. Assuming he was actually a nutter and the family isn't just laying down smoke, who wound this guy up and pointed him at a soft target?

#5  He's not a martyr.
He's just insane.
But we still hope he gets the 72 virgins we promised him.

#4  Speaking of belfries... finally figured out what was lurking in mine during the above: possibly the most un-Rantburg song ever recorded.

#3  Bad batin in belfry. No rent.
Hussain and his brain had been bent,
Obeying whose orders,
Disdaining all borders?
Lord Allan's, within Allan's tent.

#1  There's a way to end these 'severe mental health challenges' to make sure he never harms other people again, but this is Canada we're talking about.
