Shots fired in home invasion leave 1 dead and 2 injured in Mississauga, Ontario

Police say one man is dead and two others were injured after shots were fired during an overnight break-in at a home in Mississauga.

Peel Regional Police say they responded to a call around 3:45 a.m. Tuesday near Joan Drive and Central Parkway West, just west of Hurontario Street.

It’s believed three culprits broke into the house and an altercation took place before shots were fired, police said.

Investigators say they believe the man who died was shot while the other two injured men were not shot.

Police say those two men were sent to hospital with injuries described as not life threatening.

Police did not immediately offer any description of the three suspects, who they say fled the scene.
