Books of condolence have been set up in the Innisfil Town Hall for people to pay their respects to the two South Simcoe police officers killed in the line of duty this week. Since the deadly shooting Tuesday night, condolences have been pouring in for the families, friends and colleagues of Const. Morgan Russell and Const. Devon Northrup.

South Simcoe police say the two officers were shot inside a home on 25th Sideroad and 9th Line at around 7:55 p.m. on Oct. 11 after a report of a disturbance. Both officers were rushed to a local hospital, police said. Northrup died a short time later. Russell was airlifted to a Toronto trauma centre in critical condition, where he later died of his injuries.

Russell was 54 years old and a 33-year member of the service. Northrup was 33 years old and a six-year member of the service.

Town staff say Innisfil Beach Park has been lit with blue lights to commemorate the officers' service, dedication, and the profound loss. “This tragedy has impacted the entire community of Innisfil,” the town said in a statement.
