Five people were found dead in a Canadian home and one other person was left injured after an early morning shooting Friday, according to reports.
Police reported that multiple callers heard gunshots inside a residence in Oshawa, which is east of Toronto. The shooter and victims were apparently “known to each other,” CBC reported.
“Investigators believe the suspect died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound and no other suspects are outstanding,” Durham police said in a statement.

A woman who was found inside the home suffering from a gunshot wound was transported to the hospital in serious but non-life-threatening condition.

“We are still waiting to confirm that but there is nothing to suggest that there is any suspect on the loose and right now we can confirm that there are no community safety concerns,” Tudos said.
