Calgary constabulary say a shot incident in the northwestward neighbourhood of Crescent Heights on th has been resolved after an armed surmise fired shots at officers and into the community earlier in the evening.
The situation was resolved around 8 p.m. When police lifted the shelter-in-place order that was put in place. They added that people in the area should still keep a "respectful distance" from the crime scene.
Police say they plan to provide more details about the incident soon.
It comes after officers responded to what they described as an active shooter situation in the 500 block of Crescent Road N.W. around 4 p.m., sending out a shelter-in-place order for that stretch of Crescent Road.
Just after 5 p.m., police said they were dealing with a suspect with a gun, adding the threat was contained to a home in the neighbourhood.
During the incident, westbound Crescent Road was closed off beginning at Second Street N.W. Crescent Park was closed as well. Police drones were also active, flying in the area.
Residents who live in the area who could not access their home were directed by police to go to Crescent Heights High School where officers could provide more information.
Crescent Heights High School sent a note to parents on Thursday saying there were students at the school for athletic tryouts when police contacted the school to ask that everyone in the building shelter in place.
Students who were outside were immediately brought into the gym, the note read. It further explained that police later determined there was no threat to the school, and students were released to return home.
