A possible hostage situation is reportedly taking place at Ubisoft's Montreal office building
Multiple French-speaking news outlets are reporting that a dramatic situation is taking place at Ubisoft Montreal. According to Journal de Quebec, TVA Nouvelles, and footage from Twitter users near the area, suspects have taken "dozens" of hostages inside Ubisoft's office. Police are currently recorded as being on the scene, approaching the building on Saint-Laurent Boulevard. Currently, sources claim that employees are hiding under their desks, are trapped on the roof, or have escaped the building.

[UPDATE]
Jason Schreier is reporting that Ubisoft employees have received security instructions and are evacuating, though the actual cause is unknown at this point, and that they're working with the police.
There have been reports on Twitter and news outlets over the past hour that this is a hostage situation, but as of right now there is no confirmation of that. All I can report for certain is that Ubisoft staff have been told to evacuate or hide out safely (depending on building)

[UPDATE2]
The call has been reported as a hoax. No one was injured, and all employees appear to have safely left the building.
