A spokesperson for the Ontario Provincial Police, which is investigating the shooting, told CBC Toronto that OPP cannot confirm whether the shooting was targeted or a case of misidentification.
During a visit to the site of the shooting, CBC Toronto reporters saw bloodstains, as well as bullet holes through the bathroom door, where Sidhu’s father was killed, and the door to Sidhu’s bedroom.
The long road to recovery
Sidhu says there are two bullets in her body that can’t be removed without causing further complications.
Despite her own injuries and ongoing hospital stay, she says all she can think of is the reason why a Peel police homicide detective visited her house four days before the shooting. The shooting itself is being investigated by the OPP.
Last week, both police forces told CBC Toronto they can’t share any information because their cases are under investigation.
My father was shot in front of me. I heard my mother’s last screams. After that there was complete silence. Only the noises of gunshots.Jaspreet Kaur Sidhu
Sidhu wants to know if her parents could’ve been saved if the police had warned them about any suspicion of danger. “We could have left right away,” she said.
As she copes from her losses, Sidhu says she is focusing on joining her brother’s ongoing fight for justice for their parents.
Gurdit, who was at work on the night of the shooting, has spent the last few months emailing politicians at all levels. He wants them to prioritize this case and push the police for answers. He launched a website where people can email their local MPs to ask them to fast track the OPP investigation.
“Justice delayed is justice denied,” Sidhu said.
Sidhu says she won’t be able to work for at least the next two years because of her injuries. The family is fundraising to help her brother cover their expenses.
Sidhu says her brother is her only ray of hope.
“It’s been very hard — up and down every day. But when I think about my brother, I get the motivation, I get the energy,” she said.
Gurdit wasn’t at home the night of the shooting, Sidhu says, “And that is my only will to live.”
