Mitch Lapa, the man suspected of wounding his sister, fatally shooting her husband, and killing three of their kids inside their Oshawa, Ont., home, was largely shut out of his father's will at the time of the shootings, according to court documents obtained by CBC News. The will, signed in 2015, made no mention of why his son wouldn't benefit the way his daughter would. Lapa's sister, Loretta Traynor, and her children were the beneficiaries of almost all of her late father's estate.
