WHISTLER, B.C. — RCMP say two people were killed in a brazen midday shooting that shut down the Whistler Blackcomb resort in British Columbia on Sunday.
The Mounties say in a statement that two people have been arrested in connection with the attack in the resort's village near Sundial Hotel at about 12:19 p.m.
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has taken control of the investigation, working with the Sea-to-Sky RCMP, the RCMP Integrated Forensic Identification Services , the B.C. Coroners Service and the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia. Sara Roston, a spokesperson for Whistler Blackcomb, says in an email that RCMP cleared the Whistler area of any imminent danger, but the resort was closed for the day out of respect for guests and those affected by the shooting.
"We are shocked and deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence, and we stand in support of our community," she says in the email.
