Dr. Mansfield Mela, a psychiatrist for the defence, testified that the teen has fetal alcohol syndrome, also referred to as FASD. That report said the teen’s mother drank while pregnant. Both parents confirmed “there was significant alcohol use in the first trimester,” Mela told court Friday in Meadow Lake, Sask.

When police arrived, the shooter ran into a women’s washroom where he put his weapon down and gave himself up.
