A police operation is underway in Yellowknife, with multiple 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," stated in a press release sent out on Friday afternoon.
Several vehicles from both 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.
Cpl. Gavin Layman told SA国际影视传媒 that an armed person was in the building. Police were trying to get them out at the time SA国际影视传媒 was on the scene.
