Police say a landlord-tenant dispute is believed to have led to the shooting death of two people at an east Hamilton, Ont. residence.

Investigators say three people in total are dead following the incident that became a standoff late Saturday at a Jones Road home just north of Barton Street East in Stoney Creek.

Two of the deceased, a 28-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman, were found dead by police upon their arrival just after 5:30 p.m. responding to shots fired 911 call.

Homicide detectives say the pair, both residents at the address, were fleeing when they were shot and killed on a front lawn.

A 57-year-old suspect barricaded himself in the home with at least one firearm.

In a social media post around 1 a.m., police said the situation was “contained” with no further risk to the public after the shooter had died.

The province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating.
