Police have found nine people dead at three separate locations in Edmonton and Fort Saskatchewan, one by an apparent suicide.
"It is a tragic day for Edmonton and our thoughts go out to the community as we all come to terms with the senseless mass murder of eight people," Edmonton police chief Rod Knecht said at an afternoon news conference.

Knecht said the first body, that of a middle-aged woman, was found by police officers responding to a weapons complaint in south Edmonton around 6:53 p.m. Monday. A man entered the home and shot the woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene, he said.
Police then received a call to check on the welfare of a man at a home located at 83rd Street and 180 Avenue in north Edmonton.
"According to family, the male seemed depressed and overly emotional," Knecht said. "The family was concerned that the male may be suicidal."
When police arrived, the man wasn't there, Knecht said. Then at 12:23 a.m., police went back to the home and discovered the bodies of seven people: three women, two men and two children – a boy and a girl.
At 2:20 a.m., police went to a restaurant in Fort Saskatchewan. There they found a vehicle matching the description of the one owned by the suicidal male, who had a connection to the restaurant.
The man was found dead inside when police entered the restaurant at 8:45 a.m. Tuesday. Knecht said the man died in an apparent suicide. He said police are not looking for other suspects in the slayings.
"This series of events are not believed to be random acts and there is no risk to the broader public," he said. "And these events do not appear to be gang-related but rather tragic incidents of domestic violence."
Police have not released any names or the relationships between the victims and the man who committed suicide. Knecht said this was the biggest mass murder in Edmonton since six people were slain in 1956. He plans to hold another news conference at 9 p.m. MT Tuesday.

People in Fort Saskatchewan became aware of the police presence early Tuesday morning. The downtown core of the city northeast of Edmonton was closed. The area has reopened, but police tape remained around the VN Express Vietnamese and Chinese Restaurant.

Fort Saskatchewan resident Bonnie Peet first noticed police around 6 a.m.
“My whole road in front of my place was blocked off, so I knew something was going on and then it got lighter out ...and you see police going up and down the alleys," she said.
Another resident said that a helicopter could be heard circling overhead early Tuesday morning.
A woman who works at a restaurant across the street said she saw police drive a tactical unit through the restaurant door.
People who live next to the home in north Edmonton say a woman, a grandmother and two school-aged children lived there. The neighbours said they heard domestic arguments inside the home next door. Once they heard a man and woman fighting in the street.
"We knew the ex-husband didn't live there anymore," neighbour Murray Schermack said.
Resident Maria Melo said it's the kind of community where people say hi to one another.
"We don't visit or nothing, but it's just a good neighbourhood," she said."It's so sad to hear about that family. It's really very sad."
In the Haddow community in south Edmonton, where the first person was killed, residents expressed concern for the children who lived in the home. The three children often played with others in the neighbourhood.
Police said they are in a safe place.
"We're all disturbed by it and wondering about how the family is doing," Frank Engley said.
RCMP are also investigating a death in an industrial area near Sherwood Park where a body was found in a burned-out vehicle on Tuesday morning. It does not appear to be related to the other crime
