Ontario Provincial Police said three people have been taken into custody after a standoff in Kingsville lasted more than five hours
It was at approximately 2 p.m. Thursday when neighbours said they first saw officers descend on the “usually quiet” neighbourhood — with OPP posting to social media shortly after
“The OPP Tactics and Rescue Unit is now on scene in response to a barricaded person at an address on Main Street in Kingsville,” police said
Area resident Jerry DeSanti was among the crowd still watching the drama unfold after 7 p.m
He told CTV News Windsor he saw a man inside the surrounded house brandish a weapon
“He was hanging out the window, threatening people, yelling at the cops, calling them names,” said DeSanti
“I think he had a pistol in his hand at one point…I saw the barrel of something,” he added
At approximately 7:10 p.m. officers breached the home, and took the occupants into custody
Officers on scene were not able to confirm whether all three would face charges, and what those charges might be
More information is expected in the days to come
