Peel police are investigating after shots were fired in central Mississauga.
“We attended the scene and it took a little bit of time to find the area,” said Const. Mark Fischer.
The incident was reported at 7:40 p.m. Sunday near Heritage Hills Blvd. and Eglinton Ave. W., between McLaughlin Rd. and Hurontario St.
Police say they found no evidence of gunfire. A short time later, they received a tip about a vehicle’s window being shot out.

“One round struck a vehicle causing damage to the windshield,” said Fischer.
A four-door black 2010 Mazda 3 was found at Square One shopping centre with the rear window blown out. There’s no evidence to suggest the driver was a target, say police, adding there are no reported injuries and no suspects.
