Man shot dead by police after ‘dispute’ at Toronto Pearson airport | Globalnews.ca

The Special Investigations Unit says a 30-year-old man shot by Peel Regional Police officers at Toronto Pearson Airport on Thursday morning has died.

globalnews.ca

''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.''

Martin Ottaway, Media Officer Tyler Bell-Morena to both show support for their officers and assure the community, and the country, that this was not a terror attack or that the airport was in any way involved or its infrastructure at risk.''

This whole story is weird. Lots of questions. What groups were arguing before? Why did this man have a gun? If he was preparing to travel as the article states, was he going to try to get his gun through security?
