A fatal stabbing near Agnes and Hurontario streets left schools in the area on heightened alert as investigators search for suspects.
A man has died following a stabbing in Mississauga on Tuesday afternoon, prompting an immediate police investigation and precautionary lockdowns at nearby schools.
Peel Regional Police were called to the area of Agnes and Hurontario streets, near Dundas Street, shortly before 12:30 p.m. Paramedics arrived to find the victim in life-threatening condition and pronounced him dead at the scene. Police have not released his name or age.
As a safety measure, schools in the vicinity were placed on hold and secure — a precautionary protocol that has since been lifted.
