York Regional Police say a double shooting at a Keswick, Ont. park on Wednesday morning has killed two people.
Const. Kevin Nebrija said officers responded to the sounds of gunshots at Bayview Park at around 7:30 a.m.
Two adults were found with gunshot wounds and died at the scene, Nebrija said.
Next of kin has not yet been notified, Nebrija said, adding they would not be releasing details on the victims including age or gender.
Nebrija said this is an “isolated incident” and there is no threat to public safety.
Police said four schools in the area are in a hold and secure due to the police activity. The public school board re-iterated there is no incidents directly at any schools.
One resident, Ben Borup who has lived in the area for six years, said he heard what sounded like two rounds of gunshots. He then got up to take his dogs out for a walk, as he lives across the street from the park, but was told by police to head back home.

“I cut the dog walk short,” Borup said.
“It hits a little too close to home,” he said. “It’s a little unnerving.”
