EDITOR’S NOTE: This article has been updated after RCMP said the incident was unfolding in Kingsway Estates, not Kingman Estates as they initially reported.
Just after 1 p.m. Wednesday, RCMP asked residents in the area west of Township Road 502 near Tofield, Alta., to shelter in place while they attend to an “unfolding incident.”

Police told Global News they were searching for an individual but were not able to provide more details on what was happening in the small town just east of Edmonton.
However, they did say it was for the public’s safety that those living in the neighbourhood stay inside their homes, and for non-residents to stay clear of the area. Roads were blocked off but police said there was no threat to the public.
At around 6:45 p.m., RCMP lifted the shelter-in-place notice for Kingsway Estates.
RCMP did not provide further details, but said a police presence remains in the area and information would be provided “when available.” RCMP thanked residents and other people for their patience.
