A man was fatally shot and two people were injured during "some kind of altercation" in Mississauga early Tuesday, Peel police say.

The incident unfolded shortly before 4 a.m. in the largely residential area of Central Parkway and Joan Drive.

A man was pronounced dead at the scene and two males were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries, according to Const. Mandeep Khatra.

Khatra could only say there was an altercation, but details were scarce. Police said they expect to provide more information later this morning.

Peel's homicide unit has taken over the investigation.

More to come.

‘Not one girl could be shown to her parents’: The horrors of Oct 7 – as told by the survivors
Three weeks ago, I travelled to Israel to try and work out what October 7 had meant as the first anniversary approached. The massacres committed by Hamas on that black Sabbath were among the foulest of the modern era and saw the worst loss of life for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Not much time elapsed, though, before the bloodcurdling crimes were sidelined as international attention switched, rather too eagerly, to Israel’s war in Gaza. Thousands of Palestinians were tragically killed
