Morgan Harris's remains were identified this week, along with those of another person. Sam Sampson reports. It wasn't easy to get to this point. Manitoba Premier Wab Kanu stepped out of a private event in Winnipeg for the victims families to share his thoughts. Not only on the official news, Morgan Harris's remains have been found but what this means for her family. Being able to grieve her, lay here to rest. Manitoba RCMP say Harris's remains were found in the Prairie Green land fill north of Winnipeg late last month. Experts had been searching the area since December.

bittersweet moment. She wrote she believes both families will bring their loved ones home, alluding to another set of remains found, which family members hope are those of Mercedes Myron.

Toronto police are looking for three suspects in a mass shooting. A dozen people were injured at a pub late Friday night. Nicole Williams with the latest.

This was a brazen and reckless act of violence. Superintendent Paul McIntyre says three men entered a Scarborough pub named the Piper's Arms and opened fire. Security footage viewed by police shows a horrifying scene. The men wearing masks, one with an assault rifle, the other two with handguns. These guys just looked at the crowd and opened fire. It was horrible. Those inside eating or drinking immediately ducking for cover. Some falling to the floor after being shot. 12 people were injured, six with gunshot wounds, but amazingly none have life-threatening injuries and at this point police don't know what the motive was. Mayor Olivia Chow this morning.

I'm deeply troubled by this kind of mass shooting. Over social media, Ontario Premier Doug Ford threw his support behind Toronto police who are now on the hunt for the three suspects seen driving away. Nicole Williams, CBC News, Ottawa. More than 1,000 people in Syria have been killed over the past two days. The violence started when gunmen and security forces

targeted members of the minority Alawite sect loyal to ousted Protestant Abbasar Al-Assad. According to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, about three-quarters of those killed were civilians. UK intelligence officials say the Kremlin has issued passports to Ukrainians living in Russian-occupied parts of the country. Millions of Ukrainians are now at risk of conscription into the Russian military. Dominik Volaitis has more. According to British military intelligence,

3.5 million Russian passports have now been issued to Ukrainians in occupied territories like Luhansk and Dornetsk. That's 700,000 more than were reportedly issued by March of last year. British officials say Moscow makes access to healthcare, social and financial services contingent on having a Russian passport. And without one, Ukrainians living in occupied regions face the possibility of having their property seized by the Russian authorities.

But having one makes that person eligible for conscription into the Russian military, meaning millions of Ukrainians in areas occupied by Russian forces are at risk of conscription and being forced to fight their fellow Ukrainians. British military intelligence claims the effort is further evidence the Kremlin's committed to a policy of Russification of Ukraine. Dominic Vellaitis for CBC News, Riga, Latvia.
