TORONTO — Officials say police shot a man at Toronto’s Pearson International Airport this morning.

Peel Regional Police say a man was shot in a “police-involved shooting” at Terminal 1 and the officer was not injured.

The Special Investigations Unit, a watchdog that investigates when injuries and deaths involve police, also confirmed that a person had been shot by police.

Police say it was an isolated incident and there is no known threat to public safety.

Peel paramedics say they received a request to attend the airport at 6:56 a.m. and no one was transported to hospital, but they would not confirm whether anyone had died.

The airport says due to the investigation outside its departures level, it is rerouting passengers to enter and exit Terminal 1 through the arrivals area.
