Toronto's Pearson Airport shut down after shooting, 1 dead

Terminal 1 of Toronto Pearson International Airport was shut down on Thursday morning following a shooting that involved a cop, reports said. Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) said that a "police-involved shooting" had taken place and that investigators had been dispatched. They added that there was no further threat to the public. One man was shot in the incident, but the officer was uninjured, Peel Regional Police said in a post on X.

Officers were at the airport shortly before 7 am investigating a "man in distress," the Special Investigations Unit said in a news release Thursday.
"Early information received indicates [the man] produced a firearm," the release said.
Three officers discharged their weapons, the SIU said. The man, 30, was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead.

An eyewitness told CBC News that he heard 10 or more loud bangs when he came to the airport to drop off a friend. He said he saw a man lying on the ground bleeding from his torso and his head while a cop was giving him CPR.
It is unclear whether flights have been affected, but police said passengers can expect delays at the terminal, the CBC report said.
