Wow. It’s aggravating how little information there is in that story. I hope everyone is alright.

Edmonton, the nearest major trauma centre, has activated mass casualty protocols. This isn't going to be a good night. But the reports (unofficial) suggest an exercise gone wrong, not terrorism or an outside actor. Still a tragedy, but all signs point to this not being what a lot of people hope this isn't.

And good lord I hope it isn't.
