Hamilton police say engaged couple shot dead while fleeing landlord\u002Dtenant dispute
He said police were called to the home at around 5:40 p.m. on Saturday and the victims were pronounced dead within minutes of their arrival. Several handguns and rifles were registered to the house, he added, but did not specify who owned the firearms.
The Special Investigations Unit, Ontario’s police watchdog, issued a statement of its own later in the day saying Hamilton police exchanged gunfire with the man, who was struck and ultimately died. SIU spokeswoman Monica Hudon said the tenants lived in the home’s basement apartment, while the landlord occupied the main floor and upstairs.
“These are not people that this should happen to,” Bereziuk said in a televised press conference from the scene Sunday morning.
