All four people killed in a shooting in Richmond, B.C., are adult members of the same family, homicide investigators say.
All four people killed in a shooting in Richmond, B.C., are adult members of the same family, homicide investigators said in an update Thursday.
Investigators said they are not seeking a suspect, as the person or persons responsible for the killings were among those found at the scene on Tuesday. Police believe all four people died Monday night.
Authorities have yet to release identities of the victims, saying next-of-kin notifications are ongoing. They did confirm, however, that there were two men and two women killed.
"This is a tragic loss of life, but we are able to confirm the community is not at risk," Sgt. David Lee said Thursday.
Lee said it doesn't appear the shooting was related to intimate-partner violence, nor does it appear to be connected to ongoing gang conflict in the Lower Mainland.
One of the victims had access to a firearm and had a valid licence for it, Lee said.
Since the shooting was discovered, members of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have been scouring the property and the field behind it with a police dog.
