Ross says each time a major incident like this happens, they get alerts and updates on the investigation, and try to adapt their tactics.
"We look at the particular incident, try to get as much information about what the motivation may have been, and then safeguard whatever sights may have been germaine to that particular area and maybe germaine here, and then take the appropriate measures accordingly," he said.
Mayor Jim Kenney echoed Ross' words - in a statement, urging citizens to stay alert, and report any suspicious activity.
