Story summary

A 19-year-old man was found dead at the University of Toronto Mississauga (UTM) campus after a police response to reports of an armed individual, which led to a shelter-in-place order for students. The incident occurred on Monday night around 9 p.m., when Peel Regional Police officers responded to calls about an assault in Brampton and located the suspect at McLuhan Court residence near Dundas Street West and Mississauga Road. A gunshot was heard inside the building, and the man was found with a self-inflicted wound. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is investigating the incident, which involved no injuries to others but required evacuating the immediate area. Classes were canceled on Tuesday while police remained at the scene overnight for security.
