CFCN: Standoff ends peacefully

A three hour standoff in the city's south west Sunday afternoon ended peacefully.

Just after 2 p.m., the man called 9-1-1 saying he barricaded himself in the house in the community of Millrise and had a weapon.

Police surrounded the home and started negotiations. The man came out on his own and was taken to hospital for treatment.

Police say they have been to the same house before. The man had been drinking at the time of the standoff. No weapons were found in the home.

We watched this happen from out back window. The house in question is across the ally from us. There must have been twenty cops. I saw at least 8 SWAT team members, tons of other officers, a K9 unit and they had an amulance standing by. The news report only mentions one man. But we watched officers take another man who came out of the house an hour before.

CFCN played a clip of Kim talking about watching the cops take the guy down.

- Peace
