Hamilton police say dozens of people were inside Urban Lounge around 5 a.m. Sunday morning when a man walked in and fired multiple shots, wounding four people.
Detective Sergeant Steve Bereziuk says a group of people were at the lounge after attending a celebration of life for a murder victim who died in 2019.
All four of the victims were rushed to hospital, where a 39 year-old man and 25 year-old woman died of their injuries. Their identities have not been released.
Two other men - a 29 year-old and 38 year-old - are listed in stable condition. Both are cooperating with police.
Around 3 o'clock this afternoon, police corrected initial reports that the shooting happened at Sam's Tavern on Barton Street East. It actually happened at Urban Lounge located behind the tavern.
Police say dozens of people were inside the lounge at the time and they're urging witnesses to come forward.
