Three people were killed — including the alleged shooter — and two others were injured at multiple locations across Langley.  Authorities have identified the shooting suspect as 28-year-old Jordan Daniel Goggin, who was fatally shot by police.

The alert said: “Multiple shooting scenes in the downtown core of Langley with one incident in Langley Township with transient casualties.

4 VICTIMS
Police confirmed on Monday that two people were killed and two wounded in the shooting spree, although they said shots may also have been fired at some closed businesses in the early hours of the morning.
Few details have been released about the victims, with investigators saying next-of-kin notifications are ongoing.  However, an employee confirmed to CTV News Vancouver that she knew the two who died. 
“I cried (when I found out), because I saw them last Wednesday,” said Kimberly Snow, who works at Kim’z Angels.  “These two are just amazing souls who come to get food and clothes. You talk to them and hear their stories. They become part of your family.”
Snow confirmed that both lived on the street.  One planned to leave Langley soon in hopes of starting a new chapter.

SHOOTING SUSPECT IDENTIFIED

Police identified Goggin as the suspect in the shooting late Monday afternoon.  He was 28 and known to police, but for what they described as a “non-criminal contact”.
Officers did not provide further information about their previous interactions with Goggin, or say what connections he may have had with Langley or why they believe he was there at the time.
Police said they are still working to understand a possible motive or relationship between the suspect and the victims.
In an afternoon press conference, the mayor of the city of Langley, Val van den Broek, described the event as a tragedy.
“Everyone in our community needs to know that this was an isolated incident as far as we know and we’re doing everything we can to help people,” he said.
“I want to say to the community: we are strong, we will get through this. We have been through a lot in the past.”
