Police have taken one person into custody.
A neighbour who identified himself to Postmedia only as Bryan said the man lived in the home with a longtime partner. He said he’s lived across from the couple for two decades and described them as quiet.
“I’ve been saying hi to him for 20 years. We talked — you know, neighbourhood stuff … I’m really curious what the heck happened exactly,” Bryan said, adding he couldn’t recall the man’s name.
