After a seventeen hour negotiation, investigators have charged an individual in relation to a man barricading himself near Credit Valley Hospital in Mississauga.
On Friday, September 30, 2022, at 7:40 a.m., police responded to a professional building in the area of Eglinton Avenue West and Erin Mills Parkway in the City of Mississauga.
When police arrived, they were alerted to an individual in possession of several firearms, who had barricaded himself in a medical office building.
This individual presented a signficant risk to public safety, as well as the safety of all responding officers, as this building is in immediate proximity to a major health care facility that provides critical care to the residents of Mississauga and beyond.
A Crisis Negotiation Team (CNT) attended and facilitated the safe evacuation of all occupants of the building. Members of the CNT maintained continuous contact with the individual in order to facilitate a peaceful surrender.
