Deadly triangle
A London teacher and one man are found dead in a car. Another
man is shot in a parking lot.
By Joe BELANGER, Patrick
MALONEY and Joe
MATYAS, Sun Media, Mon.,
December 10, 2007
A London teacher is dead and a colleague recovering in hospital
after a stunning parking lot ambush yesterday that preceded an
apparent murder-suicide 300 kilometres away.
Angela SEDORE, 40, was found dead in her sport utility vehicle
near Peterborough just hours after Ed
DICKSON/DIXON -- a fellow teacher
at Ashley Oaks elementary school -- was shot by
SEDORE's boyfriend
outside a south London plaza, family members say.
SEDORE's sister said she had been dating a man named Ray
KING
for two years.
The bodies of
KING and
SEDORE were found, apparently shot to
death, in her sport utility vehicle south of Peterborough following
a police chase.
"This guy obviously came for one thing and that was to kill all
three of them,"
DICKSON/DIXON's father, Ken
DICKSON/DIXON, said.
DICKSON/DIXON's father said it appears a phone call to his son's home
from a colleague whom his son had just started dating may have
set the tragic chain of events in motion early yesterday.
DICKSON/DIXON, 36, told his father
SEDORE sounded distraught and wanted
to meet him, so he decided to go see if everything was all right.
He later described to his father a chilling scene.
Upon arriving at the parking lot outside the A and P store at Wellington
and Commissioners roads about 1: 40 a.m., he approached the woman's
vehicle when a man hopped out, armed with a gun.
The man fired, the bullet ripping through one side of
DICKSON/DIXON's
stomach and out the other, then through the window of his Jeep,
he told his father.
"If he didn't turn (his body,) he'd be a dead man," Ken
DICKSON/DIXON
said after visiting his son in the hospital. "A gunshot wound
to the stomach, you're a dead man."
Remarkably, Ed
DICKSON/DIXON told his father he jotted down the licence
plate number as the vehicle drove off.
Within an hour,
SEDORE's apartment on the second floor of a quaint
Hyman Street home was swarming with police officers whose dramatic
arrival stunned neighbours.
Durham regional officers, east of Toronto, were on alert for
SEDORE's sport utility vehicle in connection with the London
shooting and would soon be following it.
About 4: 45 a.m. yesterday, the Ontario Provincial Police was
asked to follow the sport utility vehicle as it travelled north
on Highway 115, which runs from Highway 401 to Peterborough,
SEDORE's home town.
The sport utility vehicle drove over a police spike belt and
went into a ditch, about 10 kilometres south of Peterborough.
SEDORE and a man found inside were dead of apparent gunshot wounds.
Police sources told Sun Media the dead man in the sport utility
vehicle is Ray
KING, 41.
A neighbour, who described
SEDORE as a "wonderful" person, said
the teacher had been dating a man named Ray.
Having dramatically changed his appearance -- dropping 30 pounds
and getting a new haircut -- he was visiting her in London this
weekend, the neighbour said.
Officers from the Ontario Provincial Police and city police were
at SEDORE's apartment for much of yesterday, taking away a slew
of items including her computer, a neighbour said.
SEDORE's birth mother, who only met her now-grown daughter three
years ago, was stunned by yesterday's tragedy.
"There's no words to say how I feel," Johanna
YATEMAN said when
contacted at her Peterborough home. "I feel great, great loss."
The Special Investigations Unit, which probes any civilian death
involving police, is investigating the case.
"This is a tragic circumstance and there's a lot to be done,"
the Special Investigations Unit's lead investigator, Allan
EATON,
said.
Ken DICKSON/DIXON, who travelled to London from Detroit during the weekend
for a family Christmas party, said his son was conscious but
struggling in the aftermath of his close call. "He's starting
the goofy stuff -- 'I should have called the police (before going),'
" he said.
Several teachers at Ashley Oaks, reached at their homes yesterday,
declined comment.
A huge swath of the parking lot at the busy south-end plaza --
which houses several restaurants and a busy grocery store --
was taped off for hours as officers scoured around
DICKSON/DIXON's green
Jeep, a bullet hole clearly visible in its side window.
Shoppers coming in and out of the A and P were stunned by the scene.
"This city is getting bad," said one elderly woman. "You've got
to have eyes in the back of your head."
DICKSON/DIXON's shooting happened fewer than 24 hours after the death
of Anthony
BRUN in an Old South home a few blocks away. A man
[later identified as Gordon Tyler
McCURDY] has been charged with
second-degree murder in the 24-year-old's death.
What Happened
Late
Saturday
Night: Londoner Ed
DICKSON/DIXON gets a distraught-sounding
call from a fellow teacher at Ashley Oaks elementary school.
He goes to meet her at the A and P store parking lot at Wellington
and Commissioners roads, arriving about 1: 30 a.m. yesterday.
A man with a gun exits the woman's vehicle and fires a shot that
rips through
DICKSON/DIXON's stomach. The vehicle takes off. Wounded,
DICKSON/DIXON jots down the licence plate and calls police.
Yesterday, 4: 45 a.m.: Durham Regional Police ask Peterborough
Ontario Provincial Police to intercept an sport utility vehicle,
wanted in a London investigation, along Highway 115, which extends
north from the 401 toward Peterborough.
The sport utility vehicle runs over a police spike belt south
of Hwy. 7A and ends up in a ditch, 10 km south of Peterborough.
Ontario Provincial Police find the bodies of a man and a woman
Ray KING of Belleville and London teacher Angela
SEDORE --
in the sport utility vehicle. They appear to have been shot to
death. The sport utility vehicle is registered to
SEDORE.
