Three people were killed and two were in hospital with critical injuries after a shooting Sunday in Winnipeg鈥檚 downtown core.

City Police Const. Jason Michalyshen said officers were called to a home shortly after 4 a.m., where they found five people wounded.

A man and a woman were pronounced dead at the scene, while three were taken to hospital, he said. One man later died, and a man and a woman were receiving medical care.

鈥淭here are no arrests at this point that I鈥檓 acknowledging,鈥 Michalyshen said at an afternoon news conference. 鈥淭he investigation, again, is still in its early stages and we鈥檙e doing our very best to determine exactly what鈥檚 taken place.鈥

He said until the dead and injured have been identified, investigators can鈥檛 say how any of them may be related or known to each other.

The motive or possibility of a gang connection was still unknown, he said, and suspects were still being determined.

鈥淚 can鈥檛 identify one or multiple suspects at this point,鈥 Michalyshen said.

鈥淭he investigation is fluid and, as that investigation progresses, you will know more.鈥

It appears there are multiple suites in the building where the shooting happened, he added. He did not know if a weapon had been recovered.

He said anyone with information or surveillance video that may be useful should contact police.

鈥淚t can all be very, very important to our investigation, so we would appreciate that call,鈥 Michalyshen said.

He said no further police updates were expected Sunday.
