A shooting involving a police officer outside Toronto’s Pearson International Airport cut off traffic heading to Terminal 1, authorities said Thursday.
Peel Regional Police said in a social media post a man was shot and the officer was uninjured. The shooting happened outside the terminal.
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.

Ontario Provincial Police said roads are closed from Highway 409 to Terminal 1.
Video posted to social media early Thursday appeared to show a large police presence outside the airport.
Cars appeared to be backed up along the road leading to the terminal.
