A quiet Saturday afternoon in Cornwall shattered as gunshots rang out, leaving a community reeling and two people dead.
Police responded to Leitch Drive in the Glenview Heights neighbourhood around 3:30 p.m., quickly securing the scene and initiating a critical investigation.
Arriving officers discovered three individuals suffering from serious injuries, all intimately connected to one another. Despite immediate efforts, two could not be saved and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The third victim was rushed to hospital, their condition initially critical. As of Sunday morning, they are reported to be stable, a small measure of hope amidst the tragedy.
Investigators are currently treating the incident as isolated, assuring the public there is no ongoing threat to safety. The tight-knit community can breathe a collective sigh of relief, though grief remains.
Details remain scarce as authorities prioritize the integrity of the investigation, withholding further information to avoid compromising the process. The focus is on understanding the events that unfolded on Leitch Drive.
Leitch Drive, a residential street lined with over 40 homes, remains under police presence as detectives meticulously gather evidence and piece together the sequence of events. The area, normally a haven of peace, is now a focal point of sorrow and inquiry.
