One person was taken into police custody after Mounties responded to a wellness check and reports of shots fired at a home in Langley, B.C., Tuesday afternoon.
Langley RCMP say officers were on their way to check on the wellbeing of a person at a home on 236 Street south of 47 Avenue around 3 p.m. when they received multiple calls of gunshots heard in the same area.
Several RCMP officers were joined by members of the Integrated Emergency Response Team and Integrated Police Dog Services.
A shelter-in-place advisory was put into effect for people living in the area.
“One person has been taken into Police custody and I can confirm that there is no ongoing threat to the public,” Sgt. Zynal Sharoom wrote in a press release sent Tuesday evening, adding no one was hurt.
