Police said earlier that they had blocked off several roads in the neighbourhood starting around 11:30 a.m. as officers tried to make contact with a man inside a home who may have been armed.
They did not say in their tweet whether any arrests had been made, however, RCMP Sgt. Aurele Pelletier indicated during the afternoon that there was no threat to the public.
