York Regional Police say that three victims who are in hospital after a stabbing in East Gwillimbury on Saturday, including two boys aged two and four, are expected to survive.
Police said officers were called to a home on Ridge Gate Crescent in Mount Albert around 2:30 p.m. for reports of a stabbing.
A 38-year-old woman was found dead at the scene.
Three other victims, including the two boys and a 35-year-old woman, were taken to hospital with serious injuries. Officers had previously said one of the young victims was an infant.
The suspect, a 37-year-old man, died after an interaction with police.
“Residents in the neighbourhood can continue to expect a police presence in the area, however there is no further concern for public safety,” police said in a news release Sunday.
There is no word on what may have led to the stabbing, or what if any relationship existed between the suspect and victims.
