'They had such kind souls': Friends, co-workers remember Hamilton couple killed by landlord

Empathetic, caring and warm.

Those are just some of the words friends and co-workers are using to remember a Hamilton couple shot and killed by their landlord on the weekend.

Carissa MacDonald, 27, and Aaron Stone, 28, died on May 27. Police said MacDonald is from Huntsville, Ont., and Stone from Hamilton.

The landlord, 57, died a few hours later in a shootout with police. 

Police have not released the name of the landlord, who neighbours say also lived in the home. Terry Gerald Brekka owned the house, according to property records.

Hamilton police spokesperson Jackie Penman told CBC Hamilton officers are interviewing witnesses, neighbours and 911
