On Saturday evening Hamilton police found a 27-year-old woman and 28-year-old man, both tenants at the residence, shot dead
Officers responded to a home on Jones Road at approximately 5:40 p.m. on Saturday evening and found a 27-year-old woman and 28-year-old man, both tenants at the residence, shot dead.
The force says the tenants’ 57-year-old landlord barricaded himself in the residence with registered firearms. Police blocked off the area and negotiators were in talks with the man throughout the night in attempts to “peacefully resolve the incident.” Police say he fired at an armoured police vehicle and later fired additional rounds, which “resulted in an interaction with police,” but did not clarify if the suspect was deceased or taken into custody.
Hamilton police spokeswoman Jackie Penman says the Special Investigations Unit has been contacted and has invoked its mandate. Their Homicide Unit has interviewed several witnesses and is appealing for more. Anyone with information is being asked to contact police.
