Hamilton police say dozens of people were inside a bar when a shooting left two people dead and two others seriously injured early Sunday morning.

Police Sgt. Steve Bereziuk says a group of people were at the bar after attending a celebration of life for a murder victim who died in 2019.

A man and a woman were killed in the shooting, but their identities were not released.

Bereziuk said two men, aged 38 and 29, were wounded and later listed in stable condition in hospital.

Both are co-operating with police.

Police said the bar was still serving alcohol at 5 a.m. when the shooting occurred.
