Investigators from the 11 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau are seeking assistance with an attempt murder investigation that occurred in Mississauga.Peel Regional police are turning to the public for assistance in identifying a man alleged to have attempted murder using a concealed crossbow while appearing to make a home delivery.
Emergency services responded to the 44-year-old woman’s 911 call to find her suffering life-threatening injuries. She was transported to a trauma centre and spent several months in hospital. At the press conference, police brought a camouflage crossbow believed to be similar to the one in the attack.
