Default Rock 107 - Gunman with explosives at City Hall (Calgary)
I just heard this on Rock 107 that there is an armed man with explosives in city hall, and everyone should avoid macleod and downtown if possible. What the hell is going on in Calgary!? Hopefully this is resolved without anyone getting hurt. Special forces are there now, the building has been evacuated.

Man on main floor with a handgun and some explosives.

"Police tactical unit and negotiators have been called in, they are tight lipped so far but the guy hasn't been apprehended. After the break, Kim Mitchell with Patio Lanterns".

From 660, police are taking a "wait and see" approach. However...I will say that there is alot more going on then what is being reported.

Now it's a "distraught man".

City Hall is surrounded. Steer clear if you are going downtown.

I wonder if this means the train is stopped.

Police advised that the train wont be stopping at City Hall station - no word if it's going to be stopped altogether.

Negotiators - pffft... - shoot to kill.

That's a bit of an ominous statement.

In the know?

Those news reports are pretty vague. Is this currently a standoff situation?

I just talked to someone who has been on 7th all afternoon and was told that it's over. I don't know if it's true or not.

I've been listening to this damn rock 107 station since reading the first post. I've never listened to it before. I think they should play more Led Zeppelin. It's been two hours and they've only played 4 songs and had a single segment devoted to their sales figures.

Every radio station should play more Led Zeppelin.
