Two shot dead at Brampton house party

Two people were shot dead this morning, and several others wounded, at a Brampton house party.

Peel police were called to a house on Chinguacousy Rd. just South of Queen St. W at around 5 a.m. where they say two people were found dead. Police said that several others were shot but would not say how many.

Currently the house is rented to a Jamaican couple with a visible Jamaican flag perched outside the house, though nothing more is known at this time.

"It was very chaotic. There were a number of people at the scene that we had to ensure got medical treatment," said Const. J.P. Valade.

Neighbours say the house is used as an after-hours club, with at least 25-30 people coming in and out of the house regularly on weekends. A security guard who was working at the house during the shooting told on-lookers that guns were brought in through a back window.

Some residents asked today view the deadly shooting as the latest sign that their neighbourhood has become troubled in recent years.

One 19-year-old Sheridan College student who wouldn't give his name said he was robbed not far from the shooting site. Another resident said his son was robbed last March.
