UPDATED: Two dead, two arrested in shooting that closed Whistler Blackcomb
The Mounties say in a statement that two people have been arrested in connection with the attack in the resort's village near Sundial Hotel at about 12:19 p.m.
Police say they don't know if the shooting and a recently discovered burned car are related, or whether there are links to an ongoing gang conflict. Sara Roston, a spokesperson for Whistler Blackcomb, says in an email that RCMP cleared the Whistler area of any imminent danger, but the resort was closed for the day out of respect for guests and those affected by the shooting.
“We are shocked and deeply saddened by this senseless act of violence, and we stand in support of our community,” she says in the email.
