“Our focus today is to offer support to Michael’s loved ones, as well as our guests and team members.
“We are devastated by the loss of Michael Ferdinand and extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends,” the statement said. The casino portion of Pickering Casino Resort opened July 26, with the remainder of the resort expected to open in 2022. Later, Pickering Casino Resort released a statement. Pickering’s long-awaited casino has opened its doors. “I can advise we’re are looking for multiple males and females believed to be involved in this incident that did flee the casino immediately following the shooting.” “We are working with the casino, reviewing surveillance video and we will release any further information in relation to the suspects once we get it. “Right now we are appealing to anyone with information to come forward,” Bortoluss told reporters outside the casino. Police say the casino and the hotel were closed for the investigation, and guests were being allowed to stay in their rooms or leave if they need to. The fear, anxiety and questions that team members have is understandable.”
