One young person dead after triple shooting in Niagara Falls
One young person is dead and two others are injured after an overnight shooting in a popular tourist area in Niagara Falls.

Officers located three male victims with gunshot wounds, all of them under 18 years of age. One of those victims was pronounced deceased at the scene, police said in a press release Friday morning.
The other two victims were transported to a local hospital by air ambulance service Ornge.

One surviving victim was transported with critical injuries, but police said Friday afternoon that both victims are now listed in stable condition.
Investigators say a blue Ford F-150 Super Crew 4-door pick-up truck was observed leaving the area at a high rate of speed. It had dark tinted windows, a tri-fold tonneau cover, and a moonroof.
The vehicle has visible damage and is missing a door handle and the front licence plate, according to police. It was last seen travelling west on Lundy’s Lane toward the area of Montrose Road and Highway 420.
No further suspect information has been released.
The homicide unit has taken over the investigation and police say there is no evidence of an ongoing threat to public safety.
Investigators said there is no evidence so far that the shooting was random. All three victims were from outside of Niagara Region, police said.
Police remain on scene for the investigation and Clifton Hill remains closed to both vehicle and pedestrian traffic, and is not expected to re-open for several hours.
Investigators are asking anyone with information or who may have been in the area with dash camera footage to contact police at 905-688-4111, option 4, badge #9104, or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
