Some Pelham residents were on edge Tuesday morning as Niagara Regional Police were called to a home on Beckett Crescent just before 10 a.m. with a report of a distraught 41-year-old man.
Police say that out of concern for residents in the area, nearby homes were put into a shelter in place.
Const. Phil Gavin says officers received information about a possible firearm in the home and called in the emergency task unit.
Gavin says crisis negotiators were able to speak with the man, who surrendered without incident shortly before noon.
