Officers secured the scene until an emergency response team arrived.

An 83 year-old-man and 58-year-old man were found dead in two separate neighbourhood residences, both suffering from gunshot wounds.

Mounties say they're not looking for any suspects, but the major crimes unit and coroners service are investigating.

Investigators say they have been in contact with the victims' next of kin.
