No one called 911, no one took them to the hospital, no one bothered to comfort them in their anguish. All alone as their young life faded.

Police say they received a call to 911 around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday regarding a possible firearm incident at 4197 Niagara Pkwy. – outside of Fort Erie.

When officers arrived, they found the bodies of two young women. Their so-called friends and acquaintances had left them there alone to die. So far, no one seems to have bothered to call for help.

Residents told local media that the waterfront cottage has long been a problem with rowdy people outside drinking and playing music until the early hours of the morning. So, perhaps it was unfortunately inevitable that tragedy was looming behind the scenes.

Homicide detectives have been quiet, but it doesn’t take much to read between the lines – and start asking questions.

What were the two young women doing there?

Why did no one call for help?

And what kind of maniac pulled the trigger? What sparked their outrage?

Were both women targeted or were they collateral damage?

Questions that will hopefully be answered in the next few days unless, of course, there is a case of mass amnesia, which would not be unheard of.
