An alleged gunman from Toronto is facing attempted murder charges after a drive-by shooting in Mississauga last month.
Peel Regional Police (PRP) say four people were in a vehicle driving along Hwy 401 near Hwy 427 on Nov. 12 around 2:00 a.m. when a second vehicle pulled along side them.
That’s when police say a man in the second car opened fire with a handgun while the vehicles were still in motion.
Police say the target vehicle was hit with multiple bullets, but no one inside was shot.
“Fortunately, the victims in this incident did not suffer any physical injuries but this could have ended in tragedy,” said Dep. Chief Marc Andrews.
