DEVELOPING: Police in Scotland say they are 'dealing with an incident on West George Street in Glasgow' and ask the public to avoid the area.
"The situation is contained at this time and there is no danger to the general public," Greater Glasgow Police said onVideo and images on social media appeared to show at least a dozen police — some of them armed —and emergency vehicles on West George Street.
The normally busy street is close to a large train station and several restaurants and hotels. It has now been closed off, according to Greater Glasgow Police, who asked the public to avoid the area. The First Minister of Scotland Nicola Sturgeon said the reports were"truly dreadful," and that her"thoughts are with everyone involved." She also urged the public not to share"unconfirmed information."
Scotland has its own devolved lawmaking powers from Westminster. It is able to legislate on matters of tax, education and policing, among other issues. The reports from Glasgow City Centre are truly dreadful. My thoughts are with everyone involved. I am being updated as the situation becomes clearer. Please help the emergency services do their jobs by staying away from the area - and please don’t share unconfirmed information.
