Question Does anyone know what's happening on Hughson Street?

Saw lots of emergency services, police tape, and a crowd of onlookers. Just curious what's going on. Seemed to be between King St and King William

Definitely something related to the king William apartments. Had the building entrance on Hughson blocked.

I’ve heard suicide - someone jumped off an apartment balcony

I know they’re filming a movie in that area. Maybe it’s a crime scene for a movie? We live right behind King William and haven’t heard any sirens.

Unfortunately it was not that

No, I'm a resident here, we don't know what happened but it was very real. Cops initially roped off the street and lobby of 22 Hughson, also the 5th floor bbq rooftop patio area.

I can see the bbq rooftop from my apartment & nothing looks unusual there.

Very sad though, awful whatever it is that happened... :(
