UPDATE #1: In a recent video posted to social media, Peel Regional Police Officer Ty Bell-Morena provided additional information regarding the victim of an afternoon shooting that took place on a place in Mississauga.

The victim, identified as a man in his 40s, suffered a gunshot wound and was taken to hospital, where his life is not in danger.

At this time, there is no confirmed information on a suspect, although Peel Police have received various reports, including one of a person fleeing in a vehicle and another of a person seen fleeing the scene on foot. It remains unclear whether these individuals were suspects or bystanders trying to escape the shooting. Police believe the shooting may have been targeted.

“It is too early to say whether or not the victim who suffered these injuries was the intended target,” Bell-Morena said.
