An officer with the Hamilton Police Service was at the scene of the crime a short time ago and provided updates to the media, which asked him questions.

The officer confirmed that the hit was targeted, not a drive-by shooting as reported by several media outlets--a suspect walked up to the vehicle in which Musitano was sitting. This suspect is believed to be about 230 lb. There were witnesses to the shooting (who apparently must have guessed at the suspect's weight.)

The police now have several CCTV downloads but do not plan to release a photo or video of the suspect at this time. One reporter asked whether the five or six cameras mounted on Musitano's house were an indication that Musitano feared for his safety. The officer said he wouldn't speculate; he also noted the other residences in the area that also similar mounted cameras. The officer would also not answer whether the CCTV downloads came from Musitano's cameras.

Another reporter asked whether Pat Musitano was approached by the police and whether Pat is under surveillance, or watch. The officer answered that the police did contact the family but that the family declined offers for assistance.
