According to Durham Regional Police, the incident occurred at a residence on Parklane Avenue around 8:30 p.m. The victims, identified as 50-year-old Chris Traynor and 36-year-old Jennifer Traynor, were found with gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.
The couple leaves behind four children, who are now left to cope with the devastating loss of their parents.
The news of the Traynors’ death has sent shockwaves throughout the community, with many expressing their grief and disbelief over the senseless act of violence.
Neighbours and friends of the family have described the Traynors as a loving and close-knit family who were always willing to lend a helping hand to those in need.
“They were such kind and caring people,” said one neighbour, who wished to remain anonymous. “It’s heartbreaking to think that they are no longer with us.”
The couple’s children, who range in age from 10 to 18, are now being cared for by family members.
The investigation into the shooting is ongoing, and police are urging anyone with information to come forward.
In the meantime, the community has come together to show their support for the Traynor family. A GoFundMe page has been set up to help cover funeral expenses and support the children in the wake of this tragedy.
