Defence lawyer Paul McMurray told a B. Supreme Court judge hearing the case in Kelowna on Monday that he's expecting Brittain to plead guilty to all four indictments in court on Oct. Brittain was a former city employee whom Penticton Mayor John Vassilaki described after the shooting as a gentleman who did his job well. Police said shortly after the shooting that the victims were in their 60s and 70s and a motive hadn't been determined.
RCMP said the shootings were targeted and the victims knew one another. All four victims were neighbours of Brittain's ex-wife. The first shooting occurred on Heales Avenue, then the suspect drove about five kilometres to a second location on Cornwall Drive where the other three people were attacked, police said. The unarmed suspect walked into the RCMP detachment in Penticton about an hour after the shootings were first reported and surrendered, they said. Crown and defence lawyers had gathered Monday in court for what was originally scheduled as the first day of a four-week trial and became a pre-trial conference instead.

He did not appear in court Monday but is scheduled to appear Oct. First-degree murder carries with it a mandatory sentence of life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. Crown counsel Colin Forsyth declined outside court Monday to say if he'll seek to have the sentences run consecutively.

The League has formed a committee called the COVID Response Committee to take a proactive approach for regular season scheduling, playoff formats, and return to play policies to ensure they have the right information for proper methods to ensure a safe return to the ice.
Teams are required to play only teams that are in their Health Unit Region, and they must take atwo-week break before going up against another team in the same region. The Hornets announced earlier this year that the team's new captain is veteran forward Ben Beausaert. The League will have more information closer to the February start date.
