The Winnipeg Police Service has a section of road blocked off Wednesday as they attend to a serious incident.

Several police cruisers and officers are in the area of Redwood Avenue and Salter Street where they've been since at least late Wednesday morning. Redwood is blocked between Salter and Aikens.

The WPS tactical vehicle can also be seen in front of a house in the area.

Some witnesses have told CHVN it appears to be a standoff. The WPS is unavailable for comment at this time.

This is a developing story. More details to come.
