RCMP have released a full list of victims’ names, including Bonnie Burns.

Her brother, Mark Arcand, said Burns died while trying to protect her children at her home on the James Smith Cree Nation.

Her son Gregory was also killed.

Among the other victims are Earl Burns, who was killed, and his wife Joyce Burns, who was sent to hospital with injuries.

They are the suspect’s former in-laws, and court records show he assaulted them in 2015.
