Police have named the dead men as Said Mohamed Ali, 26, and Abdishakur Abdi-Dahir, 29. Both are from Toronto
A shooting at an Ottawa wedding on Saturday night left two men dead and six more injured, with guests describing how they hid in the kitchens of a convention centre to escape a young man with a gun.
On Sunday, Ottawa Police named the dead men as 26-year-old Said Mohamed Ali, and 29-year-old Abdishakur Abdi-Dahir, both from Toronto. On Sunday, the car park where the shooting took place was cordoned off by yellow police tape, with bullet casings and blood spots identified with evidence markers. There was still a strong police presence with Ottawa’s homicide investigation unit, some with gloves and cameras, collecting forensic evidence.
One woman, invited by the bride’s mother, said she had heard gunshots from outside the centre, which she initially thought may have been part of the music. She then saw a man in his 20s come in through the doors with a gun raised in his hand chasing another man. “I saw one guy open the door with a gun in his hand chasing someone. He was a young boy, very young – age 25, 26 – chasing someone. One boy is trying to come inside. We went to the kitchen and locked the doors,” she said. “In 25 years in Ottawa I’ve never seen this kind of thing before. It was like a movie. Until now I didn’t stop shaking.”in Ottawa, said she and her family came back on Saturday night to find a group of wedding guests sheltering in the entrance of the hotel.
Ottawa Police Duty Acting Inspector Amy Bond said the investigation is still at its early stages – including on how many people were implicated. She made a plea to people, including those near the 2900 block of Gibford Dr. where the shooting took place, to come forward if they have information or evidence.
