Two men were critically injured during a drive-by shooting in Mississauga early Saturday morning, according to police.

Officers were called to 7230 Darcel Avenue, near Goreway Drive in the City’s Westwood neighbourhood just after 1 a.m.

Investigators say as many as two suspects in a dark-coloured sedan drove up alongside the men and opened fire before fleeing the area.

Both victims were transported to a trauma centre. One man is stable, and the second victim remains in critical condition, but is expected to survive.

Authorities say the shooting appears to be targeted, however, no other details were provided.
