The Greater Sudbury Police Service is investigating a double homicide after responding to a report of gunshots at an apartment building on Paris Street on Friday night. Officers were called to 1960 Paris Street, a high-rise formerly known as Rumball Terrace, at 10:23 p.m., after a 911 call was received. Upon arrival, police located a deceased male and a deceased female on one of the building’s floors. The two 1960 Paris St. buildings, referred to as A and B, are Greater Sudbury Housing properties, adjacent to a townhouse complex also run by housing in the city’s south end. One arrest, more suspects sought Police announced one arrest has been made in connection with the incident, a 44-year-old person.
