One of the victims was pronounced dead in hospital and the other was being treated for life-threatening injuries.

Police say they arrested a 47-year-old man from St. Catharines over the weekend after “several hours of negotiations” at a home, and he was charged with second-degree murder and attempted murder.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact them.
