Shopping Carts in Ravines

I was walking by the Student Centre with Mike and, given the issues in the air at the moment, noticed a cop car driving into the loop. Yeah, I would’ve obviously noticed the cop car anyway, one for it being on campus, two for it being a cop car at all regardless of context.

The thing is, two more drove up and parked behind the first, near Vari Hall. This was followed by a York Security car.

Given what’s been going on lately at York, I figured it’d be handy to have some shots of police vehicles with York buildings, even if there wasn’t anything going on at this moment. I also on a whim decided to take this photo from higher up.

Not one minute after I snapped that shot, this powerfully loud clanging alarm started ringing that could be heard in and on Behavioural Sciences, as well as in Vari and Ross.

We went downstairs and outside and were advised to remain outside by staff who said they were planning on going home, but wouldn’t state anything further towards an explanation for the alarm.

A crowd of people accumulated outside Vari, a fire prevention van showed up plus another cop car.

That’s all the information I’ve got so far, as we got on the Glendon bus and spent the rest of the daylight exploring over there.

I can say that if an alarm had been pulled, a firetruck would have responded, if anyone was injured a firetruck and/or ambulance would have come, and if there was any sort of a situation involving serious weapons then the police would’ve brought the ETF. So all of that sniffing lands me at the foot of a safety drill, but I’m not so sure that’s what it was.

We were specifically cautioned not to go back into the Behavioural Science building and police were questioning a woman inside, which was visible from the window.
