Moose Jaw standoff sees response from police negotiation team
A weapons call in east Moose Jaw saw officers remain on scene for hours as police negotiated with an apparent armed suspect.
Members of the Moose Jaw Police Service (MJPS) responded to a home on the 400 block of Manitoba Street East at around 4:10 p.m. on Sunday.
An individual had called police, claiming someone was brandishing a gun inside the home.
According to a news release from MJPS, several officers surrounded the property. Soon after, two people exited the home unharmed.
MJPS’s Crisis Negotiation Team was on scene and assisted in the situation.
Several hours after MJPS’s arrival, two additional people left the home without incident and were taken into police custody.
In an update on Sept. 24, MJPS revealed that officers executed a search warrant at the home located on the 400 block of Manitoba Street East. A sawed-off shotgun was seized as a result of the search.
A 42-year-old man was charged in relation to the incident. He faces 10 counts of firearms related offences.
The accused made his first appearance in provincial court on Tuesday.
