Candlelight vigil held for Mohawk student killed by stray bullet in Hamilton shooting

A candlelight vigil was held last weekend at the Hamilton City Hall for Mohawk College student Harsimrat Randhawa. Originally from India, the 21-year-old student was killed last week by a stray bullet during a shooting incident in Hamilton. The Hamilton Police report that Randhawa was waiting for the bus at the time of the incident and was an innocent bystander. Mohawk President Paul Armstrong said that the institution is mourning Randhawa, describing the events as “[a]n extremely tragic and absolutely unnecessary loss of a young life full of promise.”
