One person is dead after a triple shooting at a party in Hamilton early Sunday morning, police said.

Officers responded to a call of a shooting on Highway 6 near Concession 6 Road East near the Burlington border around 4:30 a.m.

When officers arrived on scene, police said, they found a victim whose injuries were not life-threatening. The man said he was shot at a party held at a nearby short-term rental, according to police.

“Upon arriving at the scene, police learned that at least two other victims had fled the scene and one of them later succumbed to his injuries in a nearby car,” police said in a news release issued Sunday.

A female victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries, police said.

Police said investigators were trying to identify the victim and locate his next of kin.

About 60 people attended the party and police said investigators are now interviewing witnesses to understand what happened.

No description of the suspect is available at this time, police said.

Highway 6 is closed in both directions near Concession Road 6 East and Concession Road 7 East while police investigate. Halton police and the Ontario Provincial Police are assisting with the investigation, police said.

Police are asking anyone with information to contact Detective Mike Ebert at 905-546-4167 or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
