A union representing pipefitters in Edmonton says its buildings, including a trade college, are on lockdown following a shooting in a parking lot.
The United Association of Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 488 says police have responded and are investigating.
The buildings are located in northwest Edmonton and include the Alberta Pipe Trades College.
The union says it's co-operating with police and asking people to avoid sharing unverified information.
It says the safety of staff, instructors, members and students are of the highest priority.
The union says it plans to share further updates when more information becomes available.

Youth guilty of two terrorism charges tied to alleged plan to kill Jewish people
Youth guilty of two terrorism-related charges

A judge has found a youth guilty of two terrorism-related charges stemming from an alleged 2023 plan to kill Jewish people in Ottawa.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Kerry McVey found the young person guilty of conspiracy to commit murder through involvement with a terrorist group, and of facilitating terrorist activity by seeking to acquire a prohibited firearm.
McVey found him not guilty of facilitating terrorist activity by making instructional material and propaganda available.
The youth, who cannot legally be identified due to his age, had pleaded not guilty to all three charges.
His trial began in April, a day after his co-accused — also a young person who cannot legally be identified — was found guilty on four charges.
McVey concluded the youth found guilty today conspired with his co-accused and another individual who was not charged in a plan to kill innocent people.

Two Montreal police officers suspended over new allegations of misconduct
Two Montreal police officers suspended

Montreal police say they have suspended two officers from a station downtown and opened a misconduct investigation.
However, police said they could not provide further details due to their legal responsibilities to protect personal information about their employees and to avoid compromising the professional standards unit's ongoing investigation.
Police say they take the allegations seriously.
According to a report by the daily newspaper La Presse, one of the officers allegedly urinated on an unhoused person while on duty.
The newspaper, which said it relied on several police sources, reported that fellow officers denounced their colleague.
The other suspended officer allegedly posed for photos in which he appears to mock a suspect placed in a humiliating position during an arrest.
The Canadian Press has not independently verified the allegations.
Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada reacted to the allegations online, saying that the alleged acts are "very serious" and "violate the dignity to which everyone is entitled."
She also commended the officers who came forward.
In a statement, the police brotherhood described the allegations as "shocking" but did not comment further.
These allegations have surfaced hours before the “homeless night,” march in Montreal. The annual event is aimed at raising public awareness about the reality of homelessness.
The suspensions also come at a time when Montreal police and the city are trying to rebuild trust with the public.
In June, police dismantled a 16-member patrol unit at another station in a multicultural neighbourhood of Montreal due to separate allegations of racism and misconduct.
Four officers from the police's Station 39 in the Montréal-Nord borough have been suspended and Crown prosecutors are reviewing the evidence to determine whether to pursue criminal charges.
Police have confirmed they reviewed a number of allegations of misconduct, including allegations that some officers kept locks of hair from racialized people as trophies.
In internal documents obtained by The Canadian Press in September, police described a "radicalization" among some of its officers as the force attempts to change its culture of impunity.
Alain Babineau, a former RCMP officer now working with a civil-rights group, said he was not surprised to read about the new allegations against the officers working downtown.
"We all knew Station 39 was not an anomaly," Babineau said over the phone, referring to the allegations out of Montréal-Nord. "How do you rebuild trust when your officers are rogue?"
Babineau's group, the Red Coalition, is calling for a public inquiry into Montreal police misconduct.

Une photo de Jenny d'OD suscite des commentaires déplacés et elle répond avec une vidéo
« Honnêtement, ça me fait f*cking ch*er...»
Le samedi 9 avril, Jenny d'Occupation Double Dans l'Ouest a publié une photo d'elle sur Instagram qui a été prise en plein tournage de L'Après-OD. Peu de temps après, elle s'est adressée à ses abonné.es afin de s'ouvrir sur les messages qu'elle reçoit depuis, à propos de son physique.
Alors qu'elle pose devant un coucher de soleil dans un ensemble jaune, l'attention des internautes s'est plutôt porté sur son décolleté, sur lequel iels se sont permis.es de commenter.
Jenny a donc pris parole dans une série de stories pour dire à ceux et celles qui donnent leur opinion sur son corps, que cela la fâche :
« Je trouve ça assez flagrant les commentaires que j'ai eus sur ma photo d'Occupation Double. J'ai publié une photo récemment, aujourd'hui [9 avril] en fait, qui est pour moi un merveilleux moment. Mais pour plusieurs, ils sont en train de commenter mes seins. Ils sont comme " Oh My God, tes seins sont collés ensemble ".
Elle a ensuite pris elle-même sa défense en affirmant que sa poitrine est naturelle, mais en faisant à son tour un commentaire sur les seins plus tombants :
« Eh bien tu sais quoi? J'ai 23 ans, tant mieux si mes seins sont collés ensemble parce qu’[ils] sont naturels. Et s'ils sont capables de tenir en haut et qu'ils ne sont pas rendus à mon nombril parce qu'ils sont gros, bien tant mieux pour moi. »
« Sérieusement, mes seins sont naturels, ça s'appelle des bijoux de famille, je suis une Québécoise, j'ai des origines de Gaspésie [...]. Honnêtement, ça me fait f*cking ch*er donc arrêtez vos commentaires parce que je ne peux rien dire dessus, je suis née avec, la seule chose que je pourrais avoir c'est une réduction, mais tu sais quoi, je ne vais pas l'avoir tout de suite. »
Dans les commentaires, dont la plupart ont été supprimés depuis, les gens parlaient de son chandail « trop serré » ou du fait que l'image paraissait mal retouchée pour donner cet effet remonté à sa poitrine.
« C'est peut-être juste le chandail qui est (trop) serré sur la poitrine et qui fait remonter le tout dans la " gorge " ? »
« Moi je ne suis pas jalouse du tout, mais c'est gros et haut et on dirait qu'ils sont collés avec [de la] crazy glue, surement Photoshop mal fait. »
Suite à ces commentaires, plusieurs personnes, dont Kathleen et Rasheeda de sa saison à Occupation Double, sont venues à la défense de Jenny.
« Vos commentaires dégradants on s'en passe. »
« Vous abusez avec vos commentaires négatifs. »
Suite aux interventions négatives, plusieurs internautes étaient déçu.es que ce soit des femmes qui dénigrent l'apparence d'une autre femme et certain.es abonné.es se sont empressé.es de dire que faire des commentaires « sur le corps de quelqu'un d'autre, c'est non ».
