A man and two women were found deceased in a barricaded home, prompting an investigation by Ontario's police watchdog.

  • The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and Special Investigations Unit (SIU) are investigating the deaths of three people in Huntsville, Ontario.
  • A 52-year-old man contacted police, claiming he had harmed two family members and had weapons in his possession.
  • Police deployed crisis negotiators and an Emergency Response Team to the residence on Highview Drive.
