A police operation is underway in Yellowknife, with multiple RCMP officers and at least one police dog unit responding to a standoff at Fort Gary Apartments on Gitzel Street.
"Out of an abundance of caution, residents and bystanders in the surrounding area are being asked to stay away from the area until such time that the matter is resolved," RCMP stated in a press release sent out on Friday afternoon.
Several vehicles from both RCMP and the city's municipal enforcement division were parked in the apartment complex's parking lot and on the street below, directing traffic while several bystanders looked on.
RCMP Cpl. Gavin Layman told 黑料吃瓜网 that an armed person was in the building. Police were trying to get them out at the time 黑料吃瓜网 was on the scene.
