No police officers were injured, and there is no known threat to the public, according to the SIU, which is tasked with investigating incidents involving police shootings. Authorities say that the shooting happened after they were called to a dispute. After several minutes of de-escalation attempts, the man pulled out a gun and police opened fire. On Thursday morning, Peel Regional Police officers were investigating a man in distress in an SUV at Terminal 1 departures, the SIU said. Authorities said the incident happened near Terminal 1 departures. Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said officers spent about 10 minutes speaking to the group, which included two or three people who were in a dispute. After an immense amount of de-escalation, one of the individuals abruptly withdrew a gun, the chief said. Officers opened fire on the man. The man - who police have not named - was taken to hospital where he was pronounced dead. The incident temporarily sparked travel chaos at Canada's busiest airport. [Credit: Facebook/basmam]
