One of the family members killed in an Oshawa shooting Friday was a University of Guelph student.
Bradley Traynor, 20, was a third-year commerce student at the school.
Bradley was killed along with his father Chris, 50, sister Adelaide, 15, and brother Joseph, 11. His mother remains in hospital recovering from gunshot wounds. The gunman died at the scene of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
"The University of Guelph is deeply saddened to learn of the death of student Bradley Traynor," the U of G said in a post on its website.
“This is devastating news; a shocking tragedy that touches and affects us all,” said U of G president Charlotte Yates.
“Bradley’s future was full of promise and possibilities, and our campus community is mourning this tragic loss. We send heartfelt sympathy to Bradley’s surviving family members, to his classmates and instructors at U of G, to his friends and to the Oshawa community and all those who knew him and his family.”
Traynor was a third-year bachelor of commerce student majoring in management economics and finance in the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics.
He was a member of U of G’s Model United Nations Club and was the club’s director of financial relations.
"The university understands that this difficult news is upsetting and affects many members of the U of G community, especially those who had a close relationship with Bradley Traynor. U of G students, faculty and staff who are affected by the tragedy or are concerned about the Traynor family are reminded that University supports and resources are always available," the news post said.
