Male suspect arrested after double shooting in Brampton

Peel Regional Police say two people were taken to hospital with critical injuries after a shooting in Brampton Thursday evening.

Officers and paramedics were called to Pergola Way, south of Mavis Road and Steeles Avenue West, at around 8:30 p.m.

Const. Bancroft Wright told reporters a male suspect entered the home where three adults and two children were inside at the time. He said a man in his 60s and a woman in her 40s were shot. Both victims were taken to a Toronto trauma centre.

Wright said the people inside the home are family members.

“Investigators at this time believe that it is an isolated incident as the suspect is known to one of the parties in the residence,” Wright said.

Police said early Friday morning that a 41-year-old unidentified male was arrested without incident in Brampton in the area of Ray Lawson Boulevard and Hurontario Street.

He is facing charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and numerous firearms related offences.

Anyone in the area with video surveillance is asked to call 22 Division at 905-453-3311 or Crime Stoppers anonymously at 1-800-222-8477.
