Spokesperson Indy Bharaj says the incident was reported to the Hamilton Police Service via a 911 call just after 11 a.m. and involved a multi-unit dwelling in the area of Maple Avenue and Mountain Avenue South.

“An individual confronted our officers with what appeared to be a firearm,” Bharaj said.

“Our officers then pulled back and set up a perimeter.”

He says officers would eventually arrest the barricaded man and seize the gun upon entering the residence around Noon.

A woman would also be taken into custody, but later released.

“Our officers believe that there was a third individual within the residence prior to police arrival and that individual is believed to have fled the area,” Bharaj added.

“Police are still working to investigate that.”
