Police are recommending numerous weapons charges after an overnight standoff involving a man in Abbotsford.
Abbotsford police say they surrounded a home in the 2000 block of Everett Street around 11 p.m. on Monday, after receiving reports of a man with a gun.
“We got a knock on the door, 12:30 in the morning, two police officers saying, ‘please stay at back of house, [there] could be firearms in [the] house across the street,'” said neighbour Nathan Doubroff.
“[We] woke up our three daughters and made sure they were safe with us.”
The man remained barricaded inside the residence for about six and a half hours before finally emerging Tuesday morning.
