A candlelight vigil is planned for Wednesday night in honour of the victims of the Vaughan, Ont. condo shooting.

York Regional Police say five people were killed and one woman seriously injured Sunday night when a 73-year-old gunman went on a shooting rampage in his condo building before he was shot dead by police.

The vigil is expected to take place from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the courtyard outside Vaughan City Hall.

Mayor Steven Del Duca is slated to deliver remarks and the city is asking attendees to bring a candle.

Police identified the victims as Rita Camilleri, Vittorio Panza, Russell Manock, Helen Manock, and Naveed Dada.

Doreen Di Nino’s husband has identified her as the only survivor of the shooting and says she is recovering in hospital after emergency surgery.
