The province's Special Investigations Unit has been called in after a overnight police shooting in Mississauga, Ont., sent a young man, possibly a teenager, to hospital.
The shooting occurred after Peel Region police officers responded to a call about a robbery at a shopping plaza just before 2 a.m. (Credit Valley Town Plaza at Britannia Road and Creditview Road).
SIU spokesman Jason Gennaro says there was ``an interaction'' with a young man who was shot by a police officer and taken to a local hospital with serious injuries.
The provincial agency investigates all reports of death, serious injury and sexual assault involving police.
Police said the plaza would likely be off-limits to the public for several hours
