A police helicopter has crashed into a pub on the banks of the River Clyde in Glasgow.
The crash happened at The Clutha in Stockwell Street at 22:25.
Police Scotland confirmed their service helicopter had crashed. There have been multiple casualties but it is not known if anyone has died.
First Minister Alex Salmond said: "Given an incident of this scale we must all prepare ourselves for the likelihood of fatalities".
Images of the crash showed the dark blue helicopter on the roof with a yellow "POLICE" insignia on part of the wreckage.
A police spokesman said: "Police Scotland can confirm that the service helicopter crashed earlier this evening in Glasgow city centre.
"A major incident has been declared after the Eurocopter EC135 T2 - with a crew of three consisting of two police officers and a civilian pilot - came down on the roof of a pub in Stockwell Street at 10.25pm.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

CNN was covering this live within just a few minutes of when it happened, and how they were covering it is kind of interesting...
A young Scottish woman who lives in an apartment directly overlooking the pub, called into CNN and thanks to modern technology became an instant network news international correspondent. She communicated over the net through her computer, providing live reporting of what happened and answering the anchor man's questions, and also turned her monitor to face out the window so she could provide live footage of the scene with her computer cam....
She became both the reporter and camera crew for the story from her apartment window with just her computer...
