It turns out that the CrossIron Mills situation is not over quite yet.
Just 50 minutes after Alberta RCMP issued a tweet stating that “the incident at CrossIron Mills has been resolved,” the account tweeted an update clarifying that the suspect remains at large.

And while the initial tweet stated that there was no ongoing danger to the public as of 9:30 pm, those who were sheltering in place will still need to follow police instructions as they exit the building, as “RCMP continue to clear civilians from the mall,” the 10:18 pm update stated.
