Investigators confirm that they were called after a murder near a primary school in Coquitlam in the early hours of Sunday morning.
In a brief email to CTV News, the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said it had been called in for the fatal incident near the intersection of Westwood Street and Glen Drive, not far from Glen Elementary School.
IHIT said additional information on the case would be provided by Coquitlam RCMP.
The BC’s emergency medical services told CTV News that the call was received around 12:40 a.m. for a knife stabbing that took place in the area.
Four paramedics responded to the incident, but no patients were transported, EHS reported.
Photos from the scene show numerous ambulances parked in the area, with crews preparing a stretcher to transport patients in need of care.
The EHS does not publicly confirm the deaths, but when ambulances are dispatched and no one is transported, it often means that the intended patients have died on the spot.
CTV News contacted the RCMP for more information about the incident. This story will be updated if a response is received.
