One person shot in nightclub parking lot in Mississauga

One person has suffered gunshot wounds after being shot in a nightclub parking lot in Mississauga.

Police were called to the area of Eglinton Avenue East and Dixie Road around 2:30 a.m. for reports of gunshots.

When they arrived a person suffering from several gunshot wounds was taken to a trauma centre in stable condition with non-life threatening injuries.

Police did not have any suspect information except that a dark sedan was seen fleeing the area of the shooting.

While police did not identify the specific location, the area is home to the former HER Adult Entertainment Club. Prior to it being permanently closed last September, police said they had been called to the nightclub and surrounding area more than two dozen times since January 2021 for violent incidents, including five shootings.
