One person has died and another injured in a shooting in Brampton on Wednesday evening.
Police were called to a residence in the area of Airport Road and Countryside Drive shortly before 5 p.m. for reports of a shooting and found two victims suffering from gunshot wounds.
Despite the efforts of paramedics, a man was pronounced dead on the scene. A woman was taken to hospital in non-life threatening condition. Police say they were known to each other, but it is unclear if they lived in the residence.
Police say they believe approximately three suspects went to the home in a vehicle and then fled the area in that same vehicle following the shooting.
Shortly after the shooting, police received another 9-1-1 call about a car fire in the area of Grenoble Boulevard and Williams Parkway.
When police arrived on scene they did not find anyone inside or near the vehicle. Investigators believe the vehicle could possibly have been involved in the shooting.
Homicide detectives will be taking over the case.
Anyone with information is asked to come forward.
