“A witness saw what appeared to be a black handgun being pulled in and out of a black backpack, with four occupants in a motor vehicle, travelling southbound on Highway 400,” OPP Const. Ouwendyk said on Twitter Tuesday.

The vehicle was located and officers initiated a “rolling block” and a “high-risk takedown,” Ouwendyk said.
