One person is in custody after Winnipeg police shut down a part of the Exchange District on Wednesday evening and brought in their armoured vehicle.
The Winnipeg Police Service says that the man was a suspect in an on-going firearms investigation. Police wouldn't say which investigation, however.
The Tactical Support Team was on-scene at a business in the 200 block of McDermot Avenue.
