Police in New Westminster, BC, say they were called to a post−secondary school in the city when staff reported that a woman armed with a knife was inside the building.
The woman was not a student at the institution and police say students and staff feared for their safety.
Before police arrived, security had isolated the armed woman and police cleared out the building.
