    What's the story

    A 21-year-old Indian student of Mohawk College, Harsimrat Randhawa, was shot dead by a stray bullet while standing at a bus stop on her way to work in Hamilton, Ontario.

    The incident happened on Wednesday evening (local time) when shots were exchanged during a shootout between two vehicles.

    Hamilton police have confirmed Randhawa wasn't involved in the shooting and was just an "innocent bystander."
