Man Shot and Killed by Police at Toronto Airport

A man brandishing a firearm after being described as distressed caused an abrupt disturbance at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Thursday morning, prompting police to shoot and kill him and leading to a partial shutdown of the airport’s largest terminal. Peel Regional Police responded after receiving reports of a dispute involving two or three individuals outside Terminal 1 departures, with airport security already stationed near the scene when officers arrived. The officer confirming the incident stated that one individual produced a firearm during the encounter, prompting two police officers to take aim in self-defense before firing.
