Following reports of a serious incident at Ubisoft Montreal’s offices on the corner of Saint-Laurent and St-Viateur earlier this evening, police have confirmed specialised officers are “on site inspecting the premises” following a 911 call and that “no threat has been identified for now”, with employees currently being evacuated from the building.
News of an incident at Ubisoft Montreal’s offices initially broke via The Journal de Montreal, which described it as a “possible hostage situation”, although this has yet to be substantiated.
Following that report, Montreal police shared word on Twitter of an “ongoing police operation” outside the building, while video and images began to circulate on social media showing armed police at the scene and dozens of employees gathered on the roof of Ubisoft’s offices.
