<p>Highway 409 to Terminal 1 departures is closed as police investigate and flight delays are expected, according to officials.<br>Former Toronto police homicide detective Mark Mendelson <a href="https://www.cp24.com/local/toronto/2025/04/24/fatal-police-involved-shooting-at-torontos-pearson-airport-live-updates-here/">described </a>the shooting as a “logistical nightmare” given the amount of people coming and going from the busy airport.<br>“This is the peak time at Pearson, this hour of the day. Lots of U.S. flights going out, lots of Caribbean flights going out, lots of planes coming in as well,” he said.<br>“There is an enormous amount of people. Well over 100,000 people in this particular sort of time slot.”</p>
