Life-saving measures were performed on the victim before she was rushed to a hospital via an emergency run, while police said a suspect had been apprehended. A firearm was also recovered, they said.
The woman later died in a hospital, acting duty Insp. Todd Jocko told reporters at the scene, via CP24. Her name and exact age were not released as officers were contacting her next of kin.
The man in custody is in his 20s, CP24 reported, but police would not provide any further details on his identity, if charges were pending or if he was known to the victim.
“We do not believe there’s any additional danger to the public,” Jocko said, via CP24. “We believe that this is an isolated incident and that there are no additional suspects.”
Jacko told reporters that the area remains an “active crime scene” and residents can expect to see an increased police presence.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the police.
