Man shot in police-involved shooting at Pearson airport
CBC
A man was shot by police at Toronto Pearson's Terminal 1, prompting a major emergency response that's affecting operations at the country's busiest airport on Thursday morning.
The officer involved in the shooting was not injured, Peel police said in a post on X, formerly Twitter.
The shooting "is an isolated incident and there are no known threats to public safety," the post said.
Neither police, nor Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU), have provided information on the man's condition at this time, though Peel paramedics raced to the scene at 6:56 a.m., a spokesperson confirmed.
Images from the scene show a heavy police presence with several Peel Regional Police vehicles parked outside the massive three-level terminal building that's the hub of Air Canada's operations and most major international flights.

Airport officials warned travelers to plan ahead on Thursday in a social media post.
All passengers, and those driving vehicles, are being rerouted through Terminal 1's arrivals area, it said.
