Heavily armed police officers descended on an Abbotsford home Thursday afternoon and remained there Friday morning after what appeared to be a stand-off.
It started at about noon Thursday when police descended on a home in the 2300 block of Clearbrook Road.
Police say a man covered in blood had fled from the residence. and was taken to hospital with serious but non-life threatening injuries.
A caller to traffic station AM 730 who drove past the scene Thursday described seeing a large police presence with officers armed with machine guns at every corner, a man down on the ground wearing what appeared to be a devil mask, and a house with the front windows shot up.
On Friday morning, police say they obtained a search warrant at 11:30 p.m. Thursday and when officers finally were able to get inside the house they did not find anyone.
Police say it will be a long investigation and investigators will be at the home throughout the day Friday.
