The RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit (SED MCU) has been called in after two people were found dead inside a Coldstream, B.C., home.
Around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, Vernon RCMP received a report of an assault with a weapon at a residence on the 8500-block of Clerke Road. Police say they found two people dead inside the home and another man suffering from potentially life-threatening injuries.
The injured man was taken to hospital for medical treatment and a fourth man was taken into custody.
The deaths were deemed to be suspicious and SED MCU has taken over the investigation.
“The initial investigation leads us to believe that this was an isolated incident and there is no ongoing risk to the public,” Sgt. Kris Clark of the BC RCMP said.
Police also confirmed a vehicle was found burning at another location. Police have yet to officially link the two incidents, but said the investigation is still in its early stages and investigators will be looking at all avenues.
Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit information line at 1-877-987-8477.
