Multiple emergency services responded to the scene on Freemantle Road last night. 


It's understood three people had been shot multiple times by unknown assailants. 


ALS Paramedics spokesperson, Garrith Jamison says they were found in a critical condition. 


"ALS Paramedics arrived on the scene to find SAPS, multiple security companies and EMRS already in attendance. Paramedics found that three occupants had sustained gunshot wounds, two males and a female all believed to be in their thirties."


Unfortunately one male and one female had sustained fatal injuries and there was nothing Paramedics could do for them and they were declared deceased on the scene. 


The third victim had sustained a gunshot wound to his leg and was treated on scene before he was transported to a nearby Hospital for the further care that he needed.
