A dangerous situation in Crescent Heights, an upscale neighbourhood in northwest Calgary on a hill overlooking downtown, has police warning residents to “shelter in place.”

Police are calling it “an active shooter” investigation involving a person with a firearm in a home in the 500 block of Crescent Road northwest.

In a post on social media, police are asking people to “stay inside and lock their doors.”

Police said the person has fired shots into the community and at police officers.

People who live in the neighbourhood told Global News the situation started unfolding around 3 p.m. on Thursday and they heard between 20 and 30 shots being fired.

Matthew MacDonald, a resident of the area said “I was just walking along Crescent Road…and a cop car came up (and said) it was an active shooter — get off the hill, get off the hill.”

Another interesting story at Global News: “ Canadian deported from U.S. after admitting to drone spying at Florida Space Force base”. A Chicom-Canadian caught by SloJo’s FBI spying was let go.

That’s a massive misconception, but it’s not the legal gun owners doing this stuff
