Two people are dead and a third person has life-threatening injuries after an overnight incident in Pembroke, Ont., about 150 km northwest of Ottawa.
Ontario Provincial Police say officers were called to a home on Mackay Street just before 3 a.m. Monday, where they found two people with critical injuries. Both were taken to hospital, where one of them died.
A short time later, a third person was found dead “not far from the initial scene”, a news release said, though police haven’t identified exactly where. The nature of the victims’ injuries was not disclosed.
The victims have not been identified and police did not announce any arrests. It is believed the victims were targeted, OPP said.
Early Monday morning, residents in the area were advised to remain in their homes, but that order has since been lifted.
A large police presence could be seen on Mackay Street Monday afternoon. The investigation remains ongoing.
Anyone with information is asked to contact OPP or Crime Stoppers.
It has been a deadly long weekend in the Ottawa Valley. On Friday, OPP were called to a home in Renfrew, Ont. where a 41-year-old man was shot to death. Renfrew is approximately 60 km southeast of Pembroke.
