Durham Regional Police said sounds of gunshots were reported near Rossland Rd. W. and Stevenson Rd. N. at approximately 12:35 p.m.

Police said officers arrived at a home on Glenforest St. and found a 42-year-old man who had been shot and died shortly before being transported to a hospital.

Officers also received information at the scene that led them to a second address on Glenforest, cops said.

Upon entering the residence, officers found a 42-year-old woman who had also been shot. She was pronounced dead by paramedics.

The victims were identified on Sunday as Patrick Montgomery, 42, and Andrieana Montgomery, 42.
