Police in Sudbury, Ont., say they are looking for additional suspects after a double homicide in the city on Friday.

The Greater Sudbury Police Service says officers were called to a building on Paris Street just before 10:30 p.m. on Friday after gunshots were heard.

The bodies of a man and a woman were located in the building.

Police have arrested a 44-year-old person in connection with their deaths and say they believe additional suspects fled the building before officers arrived.
