Peel Regional Police are investigating after three men were shot and one woman was stabbed in Mississauga on Monday.

Officers were called to an industrial area of Tomken Road and Matheson Boulevard shortly after 12:30 a.m. for reports of a shooting.

Duty Insp. Karen Meeker said three men suffered injuries as a result of a shooting while one woman was stabbed.

Two men were taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, Meeker said. The two other victims attended the hospital and also had non-life-threatening injuries.

"We believe that this is an isolated incident to the area and that there is no other threat at this time," Meeker said.

An investigation into the incident is underway, police said. No other details have been released at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact investigators.

Women in Iran are going without hijabs as the 2nd anniversary of Mahsa Amini's death approaches
On the streets of Iranian cities, it's becoming more common to see a woman passing by without a mandatory headscarf, or hijab, as the second anniversary of the death of Mahsa Amini and the mass protests it sparked approaches. There's no government official or study acknowledging the phenomenon, which began as Iran entered its hot summer months and power cuts in its overburdened electrical system became common. This defiance comes despite what United Nations investigators describe as “expanded repressive measures and policies” by Iran's theocracy to punish them — though there's been no recent catalyzing event like Amini's death to galvanize demonstrators.
