MEADOW LAKE, Sask. – A teen has admitted to killing four people at a high school and in a home in northern Saskatchewan.
The boy, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has entered guilty pleas to first-degree murder in the shooting deaths of two teachers at the school in La Loche on Jan. 22.
He pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the deaths of two teenage brothers at a nearby house in the remote Dene community.
He also pleaded guilty to attempted murder for wounding seven others at the school.
Mounties who responded to panicked calls from staff and students arrested the 17-year-old shooter in the building.
The Crown served notice earlier this year that it wants the killer, now 18, to be sentenced as an adult.
