Homicide investigators have been called in after one woman was killed in a quadruple shooting in Brampton on Saturday morning.
Peel police say just after 6 a.m. they were called to a commercial complex on Rutherford Road South near Selby Road, just west of Highway 410, following reports of gunfire.
“What we know so far is there were six occupants in a vehicle and this vehicle was parked in the plaza on Rutherford Road in Brampton. At some point, another vehicle attended and began shooting at this parked vehicle. The resulting gunfire and shrapnel associated with the shooting caused several injuries and one fatality,” Cst. Richard Chin said during an update Saturday morning.
One woman, who suffered multiple gunshot wounds, was pronounced dead at the scene while another woman was taken to a trauma centre in critical condition.
A third woman and the male driver were taken to a hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
Two other women who were in the vehicle were not injured.
Police say this appears to be an isolated incident and they are continuing to investigate the circumstances that led up to the shooting.
No details have been released on the suspect vehicle or how many people may have been involved in the shooting.
