The family of Paul Wynn, one of the victims of the shootings in Langley on Monday, July 25, are grieving his loss this week.

BԪַAs most of you know there was a random act of cowardly violence this morning in Langley, B.C.,BԪַ his brother John Wynn wrote on his Facebook page this week.

His brother Paul was the second person shot in the string of attacks launched by Jordan Daniel Goggin, a 28-year-old who was himself shot by police later that morning.

John wanted it made clear that his brother was not homeless, but was in BԪַa beautiful community living program.BԪַ

BԪַThey deserve recognition for what all they do,BԪַ John told the Langley Advance Times.

Creek Stone was established in 2019 with 49 rooms, in a former hotel in the 6400 block of 200th Street. ItBԪַs supportive housing, helping people who were homeless, or in a precarious housing situation, find stability and a permanent place to call home.

Paul was BԪַthe God-child of our family,BԪַ John said of his big brother.

BԪַI wouldnBԪַt be here today if it wasnBԪַt for my brother,BԪַ John wrote on Facebook. BԪַI owe him my life!BԪַ

He said Paul did not know or have any association with his killer. John said the family believes Goggin was not necessarily targeting homeless people, but that he BԪַwas out to kill and he just happened to snap at that time of the morning and went for a drive.BԪַ

Two people were killed and two wounded in the shooting attacks by Goggin, which took place between around midnight and 5:45 a.m. in four locations around Langley.

Police caught up with Goggin just after the fourth attack, on 200th Street near the Langley Bypass. Officer shot and killed Goggin in a parking lot.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) is still investigating the shootings, and the Independent Investigations Office (IIO) is looking into the RCMPBԪַs shooting of Goggin, as it looks into all police interactions that lead to death or serious injury in B.C.
