A second and similar incident occurred on Friday, April 12, at approximately 3 p.m., when police were again contacted regarding a naked male walking around Turner Dr. The suspect was again reported as walking alone and wearing only a balaclava and boots. Officers responded along with a K-9 Unit for a search of the vicinity but the suspect was not located. Officers asked school officials at Uxbridge Public School to hold students inside while the investigation continued.

According to Mr. Humphrey, his sister is an excellent triathlete, who has achieved national rankings. As such, she was finished with the race more than a hour before the bomb blasts near the finish line. The terrorist attacks will not deter Ms. Rossitter or her husband, Glenn, from competing in future events, according to Mr. Humphrey. “They are both in a lot of those types of races - Glenn actually competed in an event in Toronto over the weekend - and they will continue to do so, and I will continue to support them,” Mr. Humphrey added. “It’s my understanding that the goal of terrorism is to disrupt the activities of people. And the best way to fight back is to continue doing those things that you are passionate about and not be fearful.”
