Calls to 911 started coming in at about 10:50 p.m., directing first responders to Berrigan Drive near Palmadeo Drive. It’s a residential area close to two schools.

Inside, emergency responders found six people dead and one injured person, who was taken to hospital.

A spokesperson for the Sri Lankan High Commission who did not want to be identified told CBC the deceased include a Sri Lankan woman and her four children, and that the father, also Sri Lankan, survived but was injured.

[…] investigators do not believe it to be a case of intimate partner violence.

EDIT:

A previous version of this story called the incident a mass shooting, based on an interview with police Chief Eric Stubbs. In fact, it was not a shooting. The cause of death has not yet officially been released.
