One person is dead and a suspect has been located following an emergency call in Langham Township Friday morning.
An emergency call was made around 7:40 a.m. warning residents to stay inside and lock their doors.
A second alert named Justin Heimbecker as a suspect, warned he was considered armed and dangerous, and confirmed a person was dead.
Heimbecker was captured just before noon Friday and is no longer a threat to the public, according to Korman Park police.
At 12:15 p.m., the Mounties issued a media release saying they were canceling the alert and rescinding the order requiring people in the Langham area to shelter in place.
Corman Park Police Chief Ron Chomin confirmed to 650 CKOM that Heimbecker has been located. The local police service provided support to the RCMP, Chomin said, but could not share further details about the incident.
Carol Epp, who lives in Langham, describes what it’s like to sit in her home while police search the town.
“We heard a lot of sirens (and) there’s police going by, but that’s about it,” she said before Heimbecker was arrested.
