Peel Regional Police are investigating after a 23-year-old woman was shot during a daytime shooting in Mississauga on Friday.
Police were called to a residential area near Battleford Road and Glen Erin Drive for a report of shots fired at about 2:30 p.m.
Peel Paramedics said a woman was transported to hospital with life-threatening injuries after suffering a gunshot wound to the abdomen.
Later on Friday afternoon, a man was led out of an apartment building at the scene in handcuffs and placed in the back of a cruiser, though a media relations officer with Peel police could not say whether he was believed to be the suspect.
“There was a male that was arrested as part of the investigation,” Peel police Const. Akhil Mooken told reporters.
“At this time, I can confirm that investigators from our criminal investigations bureau are still investigating and are working to determine if that individual was responsible for the shooting.”
Two daycares and eight schools were temporarily placed under hold and secure as police conducted their investigation.
