A man is in hospital after being shot in a Mississauga square Saturday afternoon in what police believe was a “targeted” incident.

Peel police said they received reports of shots fired in the 1200 block of Eglinton Avenue East, near Dixie Roadaround 12:30 p.m.

When officers arrived, they located a man in his 40s with a gunshot wound, police said.

Peel paramedics told CP24 they transported the victim to hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police spokesperson Const. Tyler Bell Morena said in a video update that there was no suspicious information yet.

“We have various reports that an individual may have fled in a vehicle. We also received reports of a suspect fleeing on foot,” he said. “So at this time it is too early to determine whether or not it was suspects or individuals fleeing gunfire.”

Although it appears to have been a targeted shooting, Bell Morena said it was too early to say whether the victim was the intended target.

Police are asking anyone driving in the area who has a dashcam to check their footage and contact investigators at 905-453-3311, ext. 3311. 1233.
