Protest blocking major intersection in Mississauga

A protest is currently in effect this afternoon in Mississauga.

According to police, around 200 to 300 protesters have occupied the intersection of Derry Road and Goreway Drive.

Early reports indicate that the protest is in response to the Saturday night shooting in which a Peel police officer fatally shot a 62 year old male in crisis.

The intersection is blocked and motorists are advised to take alternate routes for now.

UPDATE: The protest has since moved to the intersection of Goreway and Morningstar.
