Edmonton City Hall lockdown: One arrested after shots fired, Molotov cocktail thrown inside

Edmonton City Hall remained on lockdown as of noon Tuesday after police arrested a person in connection with shots being fired and a Molotov cocktail thrown inside the building. No injuries were reported. A Global News reporter at city hall said she and other members of the media, along with the mayor, several city councillors, the city’s fire chief and city staff were in the building’s River Valley Room for an emergency management committee meeting when she heard a loud bang. She said there was a pause and then she heard at least three more loud bangs. She said a security guard in the room with them went out to the foyer to look. The guard then came back to the room, said “there’s been a shooting,” and locked the door. Kendra Slugoski reports from the scene with the latest.
