Patrol officers were dispatched and the Kingston Police Emergency Response unit was called out. Officers set up containment and made entry into the residence.

A 76-year-old man and his 78-year-old wife, both with gunshot wounds, were located in an upstairs room. The female was found deceased on police arrival. The male was transported to hospital by paramedics with life threatening injuries, but has since succumbed to his injuries.
