A woman in her 20s is dead and a man in his 20s has been being transported to a local hospital after shots were fired at a home in Brampton Tuesday afternoon.
Peel police were dispatched to a home in the Deerpark Crescent and Fairglen Avenue area just before 2:30 p.m. after a family member called police to tell them to come to the residence.
Officers arrived at the home and found two people suffering from gunshot wounds, police said.
The woman was declared dead at the scene while the male was transported to a local hospital with serious injuries.
According to police, the young man lives at the home with his family and the young woman was visiting the house. The two were in a relationship police said.
“We believe the two people involved in the incident are the only people involved at this point in time. So we don’t have any information to pass along as it relates to suspects at this point,” Const. Kyle Villers told reporters, calling the shooting “an isolated incident.”
Villers said he had no information about the couple’s history or details about what may have led to the shooting.
“It’s still really early in the in the investigation so I can’t say who did what to who at this point,” he said.
He said police are expected to remain at the scene for some time as they investigate the deadly shooting.
