A police officer was mistaken as a suspicious person and forced everyone inside a downtown Calgary office tower to shelter-in-place on Wednesday morning.
Calgary police (CPS)) say officers were called to Eau Claire Tower near 3 Avenue and 5 Street SW around 10 a.m. for reports of a suspicious person.
Everyone inside the building was asked to shelter-in-place out of caution.
Responding officers found the person in question who turned out to be an on-duty RCMP officer, according to police.
“The incident has since been resolved and there was no risk to public safety,” reads a statement from a CPS spokesperson.
No other details have been released.
