CPS tweeted that there is no such problem and no threat to the public.

Calgary Police on Twitter

Rumors of armed gunmen in the #Calgary Downtown core NOT accurate. Police presence due to ongoing #yyc incident.

edit: Corsi got there first

I know of at least one building that got locked down because of this.

Thanks for the quick info. Glad it is not true.

We were (Livingston), and so were Jamieson Place, BP Centre and Intact Place. That was a pretty alarming email, glad it turned out to be nothing.

Reminds me of that time that the military was doing some training around Mount Royal College and people started going all 'Red Dawn.'

Bring it on like Red Dawn!

It was an arms day at the gym, somebody clearly saw the gun show and called the police, it was all a big misunderstanding.
