Ottawa police did not give many details in an incident where one person was killed after she suffered “traumatic injuries” in Barrhaven.
It happened on Thursday around 9:44 p.m. in the 500 block of Ashbourne Crescent, a residential street near the Minto Recreation Complex. Paramedics told CityNews they responded at 10:00 p.m.
They found one woman with traumatic injuries who was pronounced dead on scene. Paramedics said they also treated an elderly woman who suffered traumatic injuries. She was stabilized by crews during transport and was in serious but stable condition.
“Given the injuries, I will not speculate on the weapon used,” Marc-Antoine Deschamps, Superintendent of Public Information for Ottawa Paramedics, said. “I will leave it to Ottawa Police as this is part of their investigation.”
According to police one person is dead and one person is in custody. The homicide unit is investigating.
Officials said there is no risk to public safety.
More to come.
