Sault mass shooter previously convicted of breaking police car window, drunk driving

Court records show that the Sault Ste. Marie man who killed four people — including three children and his former girlfriend — before turning a gun on himself last week was convicted two decades ago of smashing a police car window and impaired driving.

Court documents obtained by The Canadian Press show that Hallaert was convicted in 2003 of causing a disturbance at sports bar and breaking the rear window of a police vehicle in Midland, Ont., in August 2002. Police in Sault Ste. Marie, who have not named Hallaert, have called the shooting a case of intimate partner violence.

As SooToday previously reported, Hallaert pleaded guilty to assault in December 2021 after a scuffle with a Sault police officer that ended with the officer's glasses getting broken.
