UPDATE: Three People In Stable Condition After Mississauga Explosion

Police are still actively searching for two suspects after a bombing at an Indian restaurant in Mississauga Thursday night.

Officers say 15 people were hurt. Three of those people, a 35-year-old man from Brampton, a 48-year-old woman from Mississauga, and a 62-year-old woman from Mississauga were taken to a Toronto Trauma Centre in critical condition, but have since been upgraded to stable condition. The other 12 people who were hurt, ranging in age from 23-69 years old, were treated for their injuries and released.

The victims were reportedly celebrating at a birthday party at the time of the attack.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and to their families. We know this is an extremely difficult time for them,” said Peel Regional Police Chief Jennifer Evans at a news conference Friday morning. “I want the community to know that every available police resource is being used to locate the people responsible for this horrendous act.”

Two men wearing black hoodies and black cloth over their faces were caught on a security camera as they walked into the building at around 10:30pm.

Police say once the men were inside, they detonated an improvised explosive device and fled the scene immediately afterwards.

The first suspect is described as a male with light skin in his mid-20s, 5'10"-6' tall with a stocky build. He was last seen wearing dark blue jeans, a dark zip-up hoodie pulled over his head, a baseball cap with light grey peak, and black cloth material covering his face.

The second suspect is described as a male with fair skin, 5'9"-5'10" tall with a thin build. He was last seen wearing faded blue jeans, a dark zip-up hoodie hood pulled over his head, a grey t-shirt, dark coloured skate shoes, and a cloth covering his face.

Police are appealing to the public for any information that may help them identify the suspects.
