Two people have died and two have been arrested after a brazen daylight shooting outside of a Whistler, B.C., hotel, according to police.

In a news release Sunday evening, the Whistler RCMP provided an update on the fatal shooting. 

"One person died at the scene, and the second succumbed to injuries while at the Whistler Medical Clinic," the statement says.

"The incident happened in the village area out in the open. The police have not yet determined if this incident and a recently located burned car are related, or if they are related to ongoing gang conflict."

B.C.'s Integrated Homicide Investigation Team has been called in and also confirmed there were two people killed. No information has been released about the victims or the suspects. 

“I’m confident with the work done by our investigators that there remains no risk to community safety,” wrote RCMP Insp. Robert Dyskstra.

In an earlier statement, the detachment only said they were called to the scene around 12:20 p.m. for reports of shots fired – providing no information on injuries, suspects, or fatalities but saying "there is no ongoing risk to public safety."
