Students at the University of Toronto’s Mississauga campus have been told to shelter in place after reports of a large police presence near a student housing building.
The school says on social media that emergency responders are at the scene at McLuhan Court residence.
It says students should shelter in place until they’re given further instructions.
The Peel Regional Police force says on social media there have been no reports of physical injuries, and that while the situation is “contained,” the public should avoid the area.
A spokesperson for Peel Regional Paramedic Services says police asked them to stage nearby and that they had not taken any patients.
The university says on its website that McLuhan Court provides beds to hundreds of first-year students.
