Two young victims are in critical condition in a trauma centre after a stabbing in Mississauga Thursday, Peel Regional Police say.
The attack happened just before 2 p.m. in a parking lot next to Erin Mills Town Centre shopping mall. Investigators have taped off an area around two SUVs where some articles of clothing and a backpack were left following the stabbing.
Cst. Sarah Patten said a suspect between the ages of 15 and 17 was seen fleeing on foot wearing grey Nike track pants.
She added that police don't know what led to the attack or whether the suspect and victims know each other, but said there is no risk to public safety.
Police could not confirm the identities or ages of the two victims.
The Rachel Notley government's consumer carbon tax wound up becoming a weapon the UCP wielded to drum the Alberta NDP out of office. But that levy-and-repayment program, and the wide-ranging "climate leadership plan" around it, also stood as the NDP's boldest, provincial-reputation-altering move in their single-term tenure.
