It stops, and then moments later, nine gunshots can be heard.

Twelve hours later, Joy Paton went outside to leave her son’s home, and discovered her car was full of bullet holes.

“It’s very chilling,” said Paton, who has returned to her home in London. “I haven't been sleeping well and you just wonder why would someone do this?”

It’s the same feeling her daughter-law-has at her home in Dutton, where the shooting took place.

“It's shaken everybody to the core,” said Michaela Englbrecht. “You first ask yourself, ‘What is this? Is this a random act and senseless act of violence? Is it targeted?’”

It’s something that provincial police are also trying to figure out, as officers were on scene all Saturday night investigating.
