Peel police allege a man and a woman walked into the English Street Park at around 1:37 a.m. Saturday. Shortly after, police said they got a call for a report of gunfire in the area.
Police allege two suspects then left the area in a car.

Investigators later executed a search warrant on a residence belonging to the male suspect. During the search, two pistols, an AR-15 rifle, ammunition and $3,000 worth of drugs were discovered and confiscated by police.
