Police are investigating what’s feared to be a fatal shooting at Toronto Pearson airport where emergency services are said to be carrying out CPR on at least one victim.
One person driving towards the airport shared a photo from the scene showing dozens of police cars swarming the entrance and armed cops surrounding the area. “Anyone know what’s going on at Pearson airport? Dozen police cars & rifles out?” they wrote on X. Another user said: “Just heard Pearson T1 is now locked down. Dozens of people abandoning their Ubers (and now being turned back). Anyone know what’s up?”
Peel Paramedics say they are “actively responding” to an incident at the airport and raced to the airport’s Terminal 1 area at around 7am local time. The Ontario Provincial Police said Highway 409 to Terminal 1 Departures at the airport is closed “due to a police investigation”, and have urged drivers to avoid the area.
