Police documents released Thursday describe the man who went on a shooting rampage in Toronto's Greektown as an emotionally disturbed loner.
The documents also indicate that 29-year-old Faisal Hussain was not particularly religious and likely not ideologically motivated.
Hussain shot and killed two people and injured 13 others on July 22 in the shooting along the city's east-end Danforth Avenue.
He then shot himself in the head.
The documents released today were drawn up by police in support of obtaining search warrants.
Information released, indicates he left his apartment around 8:30 on the evening of the shooting. The first gunshots were reported around 10pm.
Police indicated that when they found Hussain laying in the street, his cell phone was ringing, with "Home" flashing in the main screen. The officer answered and spoke with his parents, telling them to get to the police station.
During a search of Hussain, officers also found a white ziploc bag on him, containing a white, powdery substance, believed to be cocaine.
Later, during an interview with his twin brother, it was learned that the brother saw images of the shooter on the news that night and believed it was Faisal.
It was also learned during that interview, that the brother spoke to Faisal "about getting his life together, getting married and getting direction." The report goes on to say that normally Faisal listens to his brother, "but this time he called himself 'mentally retarded' numerous times and went to the balcony for a cigarette."
The documents show that Hussain had several run-ins with the police in 2010, for mental health problems.
It's also been discovered that he was arrested two days prior to the shooting, for shoplifting, but was released unconditionally.
In an interview with police, the shooter's father says he took Faisal to Pakistan about 2-3 years ago to visit family. But in a different interview with police, Faisal's mother suggests the 29-year-old has never left the country.
The father also indicates to police that he forces Faisal to attend mosque "as he does not go willingly."
