Teacher Murdered by Husband at Canadian School

Nearly two thousand students were locked down at their school for several hours after an ESL teacher, Aysegul Candir, was shot by her husband in the parking lot. Police have charged her 62 year-old husband, Erhun Candir for the murder which took place December 10th in Mississuaga, Ontario.
According to friends, Candir had suffered for years of abuse and had waited till her husband had left the country on a vacation to their native Turkey before leaving him. Afterward, she was reportedly anxious that he was stalking the school where she had worked.
The husband, a flight instructor for Air Canada, was reported by witnesses to simply walk away after the shooting and drive slowly from the crime scene. He was later arrested at their home without incident.
