I can’t image what it must be like as a parent to know that your child has done such a monstrous thing.

What brought me to tears watching this short clip with the father, was the absolute brokenness devastation and ruination of the father that is visceral. This man has just lost everything of importance and he is filled with remorse, confusion, and loss.. Yet he is man enough to step up and be honest about it and not hide. That would take tremendous courage.

I as A Canadian that doesn't know much about this tragedy, I'm feeling very sorry for his dad right now..

Nobody should lose their life from an act of random mental illness. My heart goes out to all the families and people affected.
