Police are investigating after a shooting outside a Mississauga nightclub that sent one man to hospital.

In a tweet, Peel Regional Police said they were called to the area of Eglinton Avenue East and Dixie Road in Mississauga for reports of a shooting.

The call came around 2:52 a.m., police said.

Peel police named the location as the parking lot of HER nightclub, noting a bullet also went through the window of a restaurant in the same plaza.

Police said two men were found in a vehicle at Hurontario Street and Robert Speck Parkway. One was treated at the scene, the other was taken to a trauma centre in critical condition.
