Two people are facing numerous charges of Attempt Murder in connection with a weapons offence that occurred at a residence in the 600 block of Montague Street in mid-November.
In that incident, police were dispatched to a house in the 600 block Montague Street on Friday, November 17, 2017 at about 3:42 a.m. The initial information in the report indicated there were people at the house who’d been seriously injured. The victims: two males and a female, were taken to hospital with numerous injuries, some consistent with an assault with a bladed weapon, others consistent with gunshot wounds. Officers cleared the house to ensure there were no other victims, or suspects, still in the house. The responding officers rendered emergency medical assistance to the victims until EMS took over their care. Officers held the scene in order to gather physical evidence and arranged to interview potential witnesses. A fourth victim, a male, was located a few hours later. Over the course of the investigation, police found three more victims, two males and a female, who’d been in the house at the time of the event, but who’d left before police and EMS arrived. The lengthy and complex investigation led to identification of suspects. One of these was arrested on December 14th; a second on December 20th. At this time, the two accused in this case are a 23 year-old male and a 17 year-old male youth. The investigation is continuing.
