The author of the death Sunday of five people in a building north of Toronto (Canada) was a resident who had a dispute with the neighborhood association of the house, police reported Monday.
The perpetrator of the massacre, who died in a clash with police yesterday, has been identified as 73-year-old Francesco Villi.
Villi used a semi-automatic pistol to kill five people in an apartment building in the city of Vaughan, about 25 miles north of Toronto.
Three of the five people who died were members of the neighborhood council. Police have not yet released the names and ages of the victims, but said there were three men and two women, all residents of the building.
Although Canadian authorities did not say why Villi fired on his neighbours, local media said the perpetrator had a legal dispute with the building board.
In a video posted on social media before the massacre, Villi complained of suffering an injustice.
Some residents of the building said Villi accused the neighborhood council of installing electrical devices under his apartment to harm his health, and the courts dismissed his complaint.
