Peel Regional Police say officers are searching for a suspect after a man was shot in Brampton late Saturday.
Police said they were called to the area of Dixie Road and Advance Boulevard, near Steeles Avenue, around 11:45 p.m. for reports of a shooting at a “commercial establishment”.
A man was found at the scene with injuries and was transported to hospital in non-life-threatening condition, police said.
Investigators said they are searching for a suspect who fled the scene, but officers did not provide a description.
In a news release Sunday afternoon, investigators said a “substantial number of people” were outside of the establishment after the shooting and they are now looking to speak to witnesses.
Officers were at the scene well into the morning Sunday canvassing the area for evidence.
