Come for a smoke... stay for the firefight...
The first shooting took place at around 1 a.m. near a shisha lounge in the area of Airport and Derry Roads in Mississauga. Paramedics found the victim, identified by police as 17-year-old Sharmarke Farah, with life-threatening injuries. He died on the way to hospital.Hmmm... Cops arrest a guy with a gun at the crime scene, but it's not the shooter. Here's a location with more guns than a Tarantino flick, but CTV declines to share where exactly that is.
Const. Bally Saini said officers arrested one person for firearms-related offences, but that person is not a suspect in Farah’s death.

UPDATE: Forget about the dead teenager...
...Citypulse News says this is all about "Police Brutality"...
Police remain on scene; however the patrons of the shisha lounge have since been released after being held for upwards of four or five hours. “They took us on the bus, they searched us. We were here all night and weren’t even allowed to use the washroom,” another man told CP24 at the scene.Allegations of "Islamophobia" in three... two...

So the CTV report decides to omit a precise location for the shooting. That's strange, even for a news outlet that refuses to publish physical descriptions of shooters.
I know, let's ask another "professional" journalist... how about Jeremy Cohn (@JeremyGlobalTV)?
Apparently, though... we're just getting warmed up...

That'd be zero.
