Wawa residents held vigil in support of Bridgette Hagen, after she was seriously injured in a shooting at the Northern Credit Union last week.
The vigil took place at St. Paul's Anglican Church on Monday, just four days after Hagen - an employee at the credit union - was shot several times by someone who then killed himself.
Hagen was airlifted to Sudbury and has undergone multiple surgeries, including amputating her right hand and part of her forearm - an update on a GoFundMe page launched to support Hagen and her family says she underwent abdominal surgery on Sunday, which went well, allowing her to be taken off blood pressure medication, though it notes "a lot of pellets [remain] in the soft tissues of the chest" - those that pose a risk were removed, but removing those remaining could potentially damage surrounding tissues, emphasizing she is "doing as best as can be expected under the circumstances".
While the OPP's Criminal Investigation Branch is still investigating - assisted by the Superior East OPP Crime Unit - no charges are expected, though anyone with information relevant to the investigation is asked to contact the OPP.
