One person is in custody after a man was shot in Mississauga, which resulted in two schools being placed in a hold and secure on Thursday morning.

Peel police were called to the Winston Churchill Boulevard and Lundene Road area near Royal Windsor Drive just after 8 a.m. for reports of a shooting, forcing St. Helen Elementary School and Clarkson Secondary School to be placed in a hold and secure as they investigated.

One male victim was located suffering from a gunshot wound. Paramedics tell CityNews the man’s injuries are considered minor.

Just after 7 p.m. Thursday, police said they had one person in custody but provided no further details about the suspect.

Investigators say they are not looking for any other suspects.
