Man Under Firearm Prohibition Arrested After Officer Shot at in Mississauga

Sunday, June 21, 2026

Region of Peel - A man who was subject to multiple court-ordered firearm prohibitions has been arrested after discharging a firearm at a Peel Regional Police officer in Mississauga.

On Sunday, June 21, members of the Strategic and Tactical Enforcement Policing (STEP) team were conducting proactive patrols in the area of Torbram Road when officers observed a suspicious male fleeing a nearby establishment while wearing a mask around his chin and jumping multiple fences.

Shortly thereafter, an officer located the suspect walking southbound on Torbram Road. As the officer attempted to speak with him, the suspect fled on foot. During the pursuit, the suspect turned and discharged a firearm multiple times toward the officer, but missed.

Additional officers quickly responded and the suspect was arrested. The suspect was transported to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, treated, and released into police custody. Two officers sustained minor injuries during the incident and were assessed at the scene.

As a result, Isaiah Bachoo, a 24-year-old man from Brampton, was charged with:

Discharging a Firearm with Intent
Possession of a Loaded Prohibited or Restricted Firearm

Investigators are consulting with the Crown regarding additional and more serious charges.

At the time of his arrest, Bachoo was subject to multiple court-ordered firearms prohibitions stemming from previous firearm-related convictions in Thunder Bay in 2023, including a lifetime prohibition from possessing prohibited or restricted firearms, prohibited devices and ammunition, as well as a 10-year prohibition from possessing any firearm.

Anyone with information regarding this investigation is asked to contact investigators with the 31 Division Criminal Investigations Bureau at 905-453-3311, ext. 2133. Information may also be provided anonymously by contacting Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or by visiting www.peelcrimestoppers.ca.
