Officers received a report of two victims suffering from gunshot wounds at around 8:40 p.m., RCMP said in a news release.
When police arrived at the intersection of Westminster Highway and Barnard Drive, they located two deceased victims.
“There is no concern for public safety” as a result of the incident, said police, who did not immediately disclose whether the shooting is believed to be linked to Lower Mainland gang violence.
