'Armed and dangerous' suspect wanted following shooting in Milton, Ont.: police
Police in Milton, Ont. say they are searching for an “armed and dangerous” suspect who allegedly fired multiple gunshots inside a business Thursday evening.

“The vehicle in which the suspect fled is a black Mazda, with Ontario licence plate CPXT541,” Halton police said, adding that the vehicle also has a broken mirror cover.
No injuries have been reported by police.
While there is no known threat to public safety, police are asking people to avoid the area while an investigation gets underway. A heavy police presence is expected at the scene throughout the remainder of the evening.
