Families of victims of the April 30, 2014 downtown Nanaimo Western Forest Products mill shooting feel justice has been served with the shooter found guilty of murder.

Kevin Douglas Addison, 49, was charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of Michael Lunn and Fred McEachern and charged with the attempted murders of Tony Sudar and Earl Kelly. A jury of six women and six men found Addison guilty of all four counts in B.C. Supreme Court Wednesday.

“I don’t think [Addison is] going to see the light of day and you know what? It’s unfortunate, though, again. All our families have been disrupted to say the least, but you know what? We’re strong, we’re going to go forward. This is a great example of justice being served and we’re really happy with the verdict,” said Marlene Lunn, Michael’s widow.

Marlene and Lorraine McEachern, Fred’s widow, both said there is a sense of closure and peace.

Kevin Addison was sentenced Friday in a Nanaimo, B.C., courtroom to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years, following convictions of first-degree murder and attempted murder, after the laid-off forest mill worker went on a shooting rampage.

Addison, 50, went on a shooting spree on April 30, 2014, killing two co-workers, after he was laid off from the Western Forest Products mill.

"We're just happy that it's done and we can carry on now," said Lorraine McEachern, the widow of Fred McEachern, one of the two men who died.

He was convicted in September 2016 on two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.
