A woman is dead, and three others are in hospital following a shooting in Brampton on Saturday morning.
Peel Regional Police said they received a call just after 6 a.m. for reports of shots fired in a commercial area plaza near Rutherford Road South and Selby Road.
Speaking at the scene, Peel police media officer Const. Richard Chin said preliminary information suggests that six people were in a vehicle parked in the plaza when another vehicle approached and began shooting at them.
“The resulting gunfire and shrapnel associated with the shooting caused several injuries,” Chin said.
One woman was pronounced dead at the scene, he said. Her identity has not been released.
Another woman was transported to the hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries. Two others, a third woman and the male driver, were also hospitalized with minor injuries.
Chin said the two remaining female occupants of the vehicle were not physically harmed. He would not say how the six people knew each other.
