Gunshot-like sounds were heard inside a downtown Montreal university Thursday afternoon.
Half a dozen police cars have surrounded the education pavilion at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM) campus, where the shot-like sounds were heard by eyewitnesses.
Police say they received a 911 call from the school around 1:45 p.m.
Early reports suggest an armed man is inside the Thérèse-Casgrain Pavilion at the corner of René Lévesque Boulevard and St. Denis Street.
But UQÀM spokeswoman Francine Jacques said no injuries have been reported.
Thousands of students are inside the pavilion and have been asked to stay inside their classrooms.
The university is communicating with students via a voice message system and "we're keeping people inside up to date with any developments," Jacques said.
