Bobbie Halleart, the man who shot and killed his three children and a 41-year-old woman Oct. 23 in the Sault, was found with a .38 calibre revolver and a rifle, police said Thursday.

The bodies of the children -- ages six, seven and 12 -- were found in the second home on Second Line East along with Hallaert, 44, who was found deceased with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. He also shot and wounded a 45-year-old woman.

“During the search and forensic analysis of the Second Line East residence, officers seized two firearms,” police said in a news release.

“Analysis determined one is an SKS rifle and the other is a .38 calibre revolver.”

Police are still investigating how the firearms were acquired.

“Investigation has determined the offender … had a possession acquisition licence (PAL) holder from 2008-2014, but did not have a PAL since that time,” police said.

“A valid PAL is required to possess and/or acquire firearms in Canada.”
