RCMP in the interior town are involved in a standoff with a man who’s holed up in a bank.
Cpl. Dan Moskaluk says the man is armed with a gun and a knife but he says reports the suspect has an explosive device are un-confirmed, “With respect to who this individual is, this has not been concretely established. The motives for his actions or his behaviours are unknown at this time.”
Moskaluk says the man is alone in the bank.
The standoff began around 4:40 Thursday afternoon.
