Two people are dead and another in hospital after a shooting on Manitoulin Island.
Ontario Provincial Police say Wikwemikong Tribal Police, UCCM Anishnaabe Police, and Manitoulin OPP responded to a shooting in Wikwemikong Unceded Territory shortly after 11 o'clock Sunday night, finding three people had sustained gunshot wounds and the suspect had fled the scene - two of those wounded have died as a result of those injuries, while the other remains in hospital.
A shelter-in-place order was initiated, but lifted shortly after 7 o'clock Monday morning.
Three people have been arrested: a 19-year-old from Toronto facing two counts of first-degree murder, two charges of trafficking in a schedule I substance, and another of possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime over $5000 while a 54-year-old and a 33-year-old from Wikwemikong Unceded Territory have been charged with two counts of accessory after the fact to murder, two counts of trafficking in a schedule I substance, and a charge of possession of proceeds of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
Investigators believe this was an isolated incident and there are no longer concerns for public safety, though OPP are appealing to "anyone who may have observed suspicious activity related to this case" to call the OPP or Crime Stoppers.
