Hurricane #Otis made landfall near #Acapulco, Mexico early this morning as a Category 5 hurricane. That's bad enough, but just 24 hours prior, it was a tropical storm and was forecast to make landfall as a tropical storm. Not even a hurricane warning a day in advance... [1/2]

This is not to single out police in The Soo but I strongly believe police need to rethink their stance of not identifying victims of intimate partner violence.
Without knowing who died and why, these incidents never get the public scrutiny they v. much need to be subjected to.

The shooter, a 44-year-old, was also located deceased from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
As these incidents are the result of intimate partner violence, the names of the accused and victims are not being released.
