Here’s what I found about Mount Royal police recently:
- A shelter-in-place incident at Mount Royal University (Calgary) occurred on April 13, 2026, after reports of a person with a weapon; the shelter was lifted about two hours later and the individual involved was later identified as a university chef.[1][7][8]
- Coverage notes that the shelter-in-place decision was a rapid response to evolving information on campus, with Calgary police reporting no ongoing threat once the situation was clarified.[6][1]
- Local outlets described the event as a brief, high-visibility incident that prompted a significant police presence on campus but ultimately concluded without lasting danger.[7][6]
If you’d like, I can pull more details from specific outlets or provide a concise timeline of events with exact times. I can also look for any official police statements or MRU updates to confirm current status.
Citations:
- Shelter-in-place lifted at MRU; police say no risk to public.[1]
- MRU shelter-in-place context and aftermath.[8][6]
- CBC and Global News summaries confirming the identification of the individual as a university chef.[7][8]
