A quiet evening turned into a nightmare in Richmond Hill, Ontario, as an Indian-origin man, Karamjit Multani, 33, shot his younger brother Vipanpal, 27, and injured their mother before turning the gun on himself.
In a tight-knit community known for its vibrant Punjabi Sikh population, the Multani family was having a quiet evening with pizza when Karamjit suddenly went into Vipanpal’s room and started shooting.
Vipanpal’s desperate plea, “Please, don’t let me die,” echoed in the house before he succumbed to his injuries in a neighbor’s arms. Their 52-year-old mother was also wounded but survived.
Karamjit fled and ended his life two kilometers away, leaving his community and family in shock.
Friends and family are stunned, as Karamjit was known as a nice and funny guy and a father of three with no known problems.
Richmond Hill, accustomed to the crackle of firecrackers, mistook the gunshots for celebration until the police sirens shattered the illusion.
In the aftermath, neighbors grappled with the gruesome scene and the shocking realization that even the closest families can possess devastating secrets.
