Constable Phil Gavin updating the media at 2:30pm saying they can confirm the shooting took place inside a home at Church and Niagara Streets at 3:45 Thursday afternoon.
Gavin says one of the three shooting victims then stumbled outside the home and collapsed on the sidewalk.
He says the two suspects, who are described as black men in their early 20's were last seen on foot on Calvin Street at Division Street.
Both suspects are considered armed and should not be approached.
Gavin says while police do not know who the suspects are, they believe they are not from Niagara.
