Police added that no one was injured in the incident but the investigation is ongoing.
“Firearm calls are extremely challenging and dangerous for our officers and the public,” CPS Duty Insp. Melanie Oncescu said.
“Until we know that the danger is gone, we have to respond as if there is still a person with a gun in the apartment and take every precaution to protect citizens and first responders.”
Anyone with information on the incident is asked to contact Calgary police or Crime Stoppers.
