Delays Expected After Police-Involved Shooting Incident at YYZ Terminal 1

Emergency crews are on the scene of a police-involved shooting at Toronto Pearson International Airport, the province’s Special Investigations Unit has confirmed.

Peel police have confirmed that a man was shot at Pearson’s Terminal 1 this morning. Police said the officer involved was uninjured. 

“This is an isolated incident and there are no known threats to public safety,” Peel police said in a post on social media, adding that delays can be expected at the terminal.

Access to Terminal 1 is currently disrupted. In a social media post, Ontario Provincial Police say Highway 409 to Terminal 1 Departures is currently closed for a police investigation.

However, the airport has not put a hold on arrivals or departures, so overall impact is likely to be limited. At the current time, only 12% of flights out of Terminal 1 are listed as delayed.
