MANDEL: Eaton Centre food court killer applies for parole

Christopher Husbands is serving a life sentence for manslaughter after killing two and nearly killing a 13-year-old boy in a mall shooting.

A parole hearing for Husbands is scheduled for later this month, six years after he was found guilty of two counts of manslaughter in the deaths of Ahmed Hassan, 24, and Nixon Nirmalendran, 22.

The shooting occurred in a busy food court on a June evening in 2012, where Husbands fired 14 bullets, bent on revenge and without concern for others caught in the gunfire.

How quickly time flies — even for a killer who has two victims on his resume, and very nearly a third young teen as well.

Husbands' actions could have resulted in more casualties, but fortunately, only two lives were lost.

Author's summary: Christopher Husbands applies for parole after six years.
