A 41-year-old man is facing charges of uttering threats, causing a disturbance and several gun offences after an incident at the Provincial Building in Selkirk.
Manitoba RCMP said they were called to the Main Street building just after noon on Friday, where a man had allegedly waved a gun at an employee, before making a threat and leaving the scene.
Police said the man made further threats from his Selkirk apartment and said officers would be harmed if they tried to arrest him.
