The residence was contained, and RCMP alerted nearby residents and a local school about the incident while two streets leading to Curtis Place were temporarily blocked.

Local RCMP received assistance from the Lower Mainland Integrated Emergency Response Team, and the incident was resolved safely at 4:10 p.m.

Police say the person was taken into custody and brought to Sechelt Hospital.
