CALGARY — Several police officers descended on the University of Calgary campus for what turned out to be a phoney firearm being used in a display.

The Calgary Police Service says they responded to a report of a suspicious person around 8:45 a.m.

A spokeswoman says numerous officers responded, including from the tactical and K-9 units.

Officers determined there was no danger and left the campus just over an hour after they arrived.

No one is being charged.

Police say the brown and black rifle made of papier mache was part of some sort of display at the university.
