Man, woman killed in shooting at Oshawa home
A man has been charged with first-degree murder of another man and a woman after a shooting at a home in Oshawa, Durham Regional Police say.
Officers responded to the sound of gunshots at a home in the area of Jane Avenue and Glenforest Street Saturday around 12:35 p.m., Sgt. Joanne Bortoluss told reporters.
They located a man suffering from gunshot wounds. Bortoluss said paramedics were transporting him to hospital but he died before he got there.
Officers then learned about a second home on Glenforest Street, where they found a woman who had also been shot. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
On Sunday, police identified the victims as Patrick Montgomery, 42, and Andrieana Montgomery, 42.
A 30-year-old Oshawa man was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
Bortuluss said the suspect is known to the two victims, but this is not a "domestic-related incident."

There is no risk to public safety at this time, according to police.
