Canadian Tire Stabbing Leaves 1 Woman Dead & 1 Man Injured In Mississauga Last Night
The stabbing took place inside of the store.
A woman died in a fatal stabbing at a Canadian Tire in Mississauga last night.
Peel Regional Police (PRP) were called at around 6 p.m. on September 19 for reports of a stabbing in the area of Mavis Road and Britannia Road, according to a tweet.
A spokesperson for PRP confirmed to Narcity that the stabbing took place inside a nearby Canadian Tire store.
When PRP arrived at the scene, they found a woman "suffering from obvious signs of trauma," and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
PRP told Narcity that the man suffered a "minor injury."
According to a tweet posted last night and he was placed in custody and taken to a local hospital.
Currently, PRP has not released details on whether or not the man or woman knew each other.
An anonymous witness told CityNews they saw shoppers running and that they could hear screaming in the store.
The witness said "there was just a pool of blood" and that "the employee witnessed it [and] was terrified."
According to the witness, shoppers believed the suspect had a gun but later saw it was a knife.
The Homicide Bureau is investigating the incident, and police are still on scene, according to PRP.
The ages of the man of the woman have not been released as PRP is waiting until the next of kin has been notified.
PRP is asking anyone who may have information, footage or witnessed the incident to contact their Homicide Bureau or, if they wish to remain anonymous, to contact Crime Stoppers.
