Don’t be alarmed if you hear gun shots or see a lot of emergency vehicles at Calgary International Airport Wednesday night.

A security training exercise is being held from 9 p.m. until midnight inside the terminal, but in isolated areas.

The airport authority says passengers and visitors might hear some unusual noises, including simulated gunfire.

Volunteers will also be in makeup during that time with fake injuries.
