Police activity at Crawley College, West Sussex
Students and staff at a college in West Sussex had to be evacuated following reports of gunshot fire.
An 18-year-old man has been detained following the incident at Crawley College and a firearm and a knife were seized.
Two college staff members sustained minor injuries, which police stressed were not gunshot wounds.
A video shared on Snapchat seen by the PA news agency appears to show someone being held on the ground by several others outside the college, while the person holding the camera says “my man had a knife and a gun”.
