Regina police have arrested one person after officers were called to the 1000 block of Retallack Street for a report of a man with a gun Tuesday afternoon.
At around 12:30 p.m., police were called to a house in the 1000 block of Retallack Street, near Fifth Avenue, after being told a man had entered the residence with a firearm.
Police surrounded the residence and some of the occupants left. However, a man and a woman remained inside. The Crisis Negotiations Team, and other officers, talked to the two individuals through the window. The woman left the house but the man refused to exit.
When the man threatened to harm himself and police, the SWAT team was called out.
Schools in the area were notified and those in the immediate area entered “secure-the-building” mode. Students were able to go home with their parents and caregivers.
Before the SWAT team arrived, the man left the house and was arrested. The gun was seized.
Police had a heavy presence on the 1000 block of Retallack Street and Fifth Avenue around 3 p.m.
Regina police are still investigating the incident.
