In tonight's top story: A community vigil was held Saturday in the suburban Ottawa neighbourhood of Barrhaven after this week's horrific murder of a family and one of their friends. Hundreds attended. A 19-year-old man who had been boarding with the family remains in jail, charged with six counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. The lone survivor of the attack, the father of the family, remains in hospital. But as David Akin reports, his family, neighbours and entire community are ready to support him.
