London - London police said there was no

evidence of shots having been fired nor of any casualties in an

incident that sparked panic in the city's Oxford Circus shopping

district early on Friday evening.

Police had earlier said they were responding to reports of

shots fired as if they could be terrorist-related.

"To date police have not located any trace of any suspects,

evidence of shots fired or casualties," the Metropolitan Police

said in a statement.

"If you are in building stay in a building, if you are on

the street in Oxford Street leave the area," they added.
