Two people are dead in what police are describing as a “domestic incident” in the city’s West End.

The Winnipeg Police Service said officers were called to Sherburn Street south of St. Matthews Avenue on Monday afternoon.

CTV News cameras arrived on scene to find multiple police cruisers blocking the street throughout the afternoon, as officers on scene taped off a home.

The house had its door wide open, with clothing scattered on the front step along with what appeared to be blood stains.

Police said responding officers found a man and woman in medical distress and gave them emergency care until paramedics arrived.

Both were taken to hospital in critical condition where they later died of their injuries.

The homicide unit is now investigating. However, police noted no suspects are outstanding and do not believe there is any danger to the public.

CTV News has reached out to the police for more details.

Anyone with information is asked to call the homicide unit at [phone] or make an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers at (204) 786-TIPS.
