91原创鈥檚 mass shooting spree on July 25, 2022, left Steven Furness and Paul Wynn dead, and two others injured. The 91原创 Advance Times reconnects with victims鈥� families and first responders on the shooting鈥檚 first anniversary.

.

To honour Paul Wynn, his family will hold a small, private memorial ceremony in 91原创 on the anniversary of the spree shooting that claimed his life on July 25, 2022.

鈥淚t鈥檚 been a tough year,鈥� said John Wynn, Paul鈥檚 brother. 鈥淚t鈥檚 still fresh, it鈥檚 still hard to believe.鈥�

Paul Wynn, 60, was one of two people murdered by Jordan Daniel Goggin in the hours between midnight and 5:45 a.m.

Goggin shot four people, leaving two wounded and two 鈥� Wynn and Steven Furness 鈥� dead. Goggin himself would be killed by an RCMP officer when police caught up to him after Goggin attacked and wounded his final victim near 200th Street and the 91原创 Bypass.

Paul Wynn was shot outside Creek Stone Place, a supportive housing building where he had lived since 2019.

Paul had been through major ups and downs in his life, but had found stability in the three years he鈥檇 lived at Creek Stone, his brother John said.

After a promising career working his way up through a food supply company, Paul had gone from the warehouse to management.

But drugs derailed his life, and for two or three years, he was living on the streets in the Lower Mainland. His family lost track of him for a time, until they located him at the Salvation Army Gateway of Hope Shelter in 91原创.

He was one of the first residents of Creek Stone when it opened, and the stability of having a roof over his head every day was letting him make plans for the future again.

鈥淧aul was doing great,鈥� John said.

Just before the shooting, Paul had been talking about staying in Creek Stone for another year, then moving out on his own, getting a job.

He was shot outside the building, apparently having gone down in the early morning hours to tend to one of the building鈥檚 garden plots.

鈥淚t鈥檚 hard to deal with,鈥� said John. 鈥淵ou always wish you could have been there more for him.鈥�

After the shooting, John said the family received regular updates from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), which announced an investigation, despite the fact that Goggin, the only suspect, was dead.

John said IIO officers told him that all of the weapons Goggin used or had in his possession were legally purchased.

Police and other officials have never publicly speculated on Goggin鈥檚 motive for the shootings, but an Independent Investigations Office (IIO) report released this spring noted that Goggin had benzodiazepine, codeine, and the opioid medication tramadol in his system when he was killed.

He was suffering from depression and drug addiction at the time of the shootings, the IIO report said.

John believes Goggin was failed by the system.

鈥淭his individual, he was suffering.鈥�

But he also thinks there should be stricter controls on guns for people with mental health issues. Info from doctors should be linked to the Canadian Firearms Registry, he said.

Goggin鈥檚 weapons should have been taken away before he could have used them on someone else, John believes.

The shooter鈥檚 friends and family could have spoken up, he said.

鈥淚f you see something that鈥檚 wrong, you鈥檝e got to say something,鈥� he said.

After the anniversary of Paul鈥檚 death, and the family鈥檚 personal memorial, John said they would still like more information about what happened and why.

An inquest by the BC Coroners Service should take place, he said. The coroners service has not yet announced if it will hold a formal inquest.
