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.
