According to a Peel police tweet, two people were shot and one of them was then rushed to hospital in the Mississauga shooting. There’s no further word on their condition at this point.
There’s now a large police presence in the area as they search for the gunman, last spotted in a black Jeep Cherokee with licence plate “CLMZ 905.”
He is considered armed and dangerous, according to police.
Meanwhile, Halton Regional Police tweeted that a culprit driving a Jeep bearing the same licence plate was involved in a shooting in the Bronte Rd. S./Main St. area of Milton.
Anyone spotting the man is urged to call 911.
“It is imperative that if anyone sees the black Jeep Cherokee” to call 911 immediately, police said.
