Patrol Officers arrived on scene where it was determined that a man was armed with a weapon. The man, in crisis, barricaded himself inside the residence. Beatty Street and the surrounding area were immediately contained by Police to ensure public safety.

Tactical Officers maintained containment while negotiations with the man continued through the morning.
