After a stand-off that lasted over 24 hours, Kingston Police say the situation has been resolved peacefully after the suspect surrendered.
Kingston police had shut down a number of roads Friday morning at Portsmouth Avenue and Princess Street, which have since reopened, after a man barricaded himself in an apartment building.
Shots were fired at officers on the scene. One officer suffered minor injuries after being hit with shrapnel in the arm.
The incident was in relation to a stabbing reported Thursday at the Kingston centre. Police described the suspect as a 50-year-old male who was carrying an edged weapon.
