''A 30-year-old man is dead following a police-involved shooting outside Toronto Pearson International Airport.

Duraiappah said officers “engaged in discussions” with a group of people — about two to three people — that were “experiencing a dispute.” He said officers spent an amount of time, around 10 to 15 minutes, trying to de-escalate and resolve the dispute.

“However, abruptly one of the individuals produced a firearm at our officers,” Duraiappah said, adding there were three Peel Regional Police officers that responded to the incident.

The Special investigations Unit (SIU), which acts as the province’s police watchdog and investigates various incidents such as officer-involved shootings, said a 30-year-old man was shot.''
