Peel Regional Police are investigating after a man in his 40s was shot and killed in Mississauga on Saturday.

Officers were called to a plaza on Eglinton Avenue East near Dixie Road around 12:30 p.m. for the sound of gunshots.

When they arrived, they found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital in serious condition but his life is not in danger.

No description of the suspect was available.

“We have various reports of people fleeing on foot and in vehicles, but it is too early at this stage to determine whether or not these are suspects or individuals fleeing the shooting,” said the Gend. Tyler Bell.

Investigators say the shooting appears to be targeted in nature, but it is too early to say whether the victim was the intended target.
