A series of deadly shootings in Langley, B.C., started about six hours before RCMP issued a cellphone alert warning the public.

RCMP Sgt. David Lee says the alert, which was issued around 6:20 a.m., was done ``at the appropriate time'' when police were able to tie the events together.

Two men were found dead, a woman was critically hurt and another man was shot in the leg at separate scenes around the Metro Vancouver community.

The first shooting took place around midnight, while the suspect was confronted and killed by police at about 5:45 a.m., near where the final victim was wounded. Lee says the suspect is known to them, but it's unclear if any of that history could have led to what happened.

RCMP Chief Supt. Ghalib Bhayani says they don't know the motive behind the shooting or if there was a relationship between the shooter and the victims.

Canada’s economy contracts in October as manufacturing and public sector activity slow

Canada’s real gross domestic product declined by 0.3 per cent in October, according to new data from Statistics Canada, as weakness in manufacturing and parts of the public sector weighed on overall economic activity. The federal agency said goods-producing industries fell by 0.7 per cent during the month, with manufacturing responsible for nearly the entire drop. The slowdown follows earlier signs of easing demand and supply chain adjustments across several manufacturing subsectors. Public sector activity also declined, partly reflecting the impact of Alberta’s provincewide teachers’ st
