UPDATE: Loon Lake police take one into custody after report of man with firearm
A home on a First Nation west of Meadow Lake was surrounded by RCMP Friday morning after reports of a man with a firearm entering the residence.
Residents of the Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation are being asked to avoid the area as officers secure the scene.
Police said they received a call shortly before 9 a.m. indicating the man had a firearm when he entered the home, and the situation is still active.
Loon Lake RCMP said in a news release both Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation School and Ernie Studer School enacted their hold and secure procedures because of how close they were to the home.
