Police increase presence at UBC following lockdown

"Students and faculty in the Biological Sciences Building at the University of B.C. were locked down yesterday as black-clad Emergency Response Team members scoured the campus and a police helicopter flew overhead"
Police statements indicate there was a "threat to public safety," which is one element of a "terrorism" offence.
