CORNWALL, On. – Police are on the scene of a standoff in Cornwall.
Residents are being asked to stay away from Bedford Street in the city’s downtown.
Negotiators are trying to communicate with a man, 43, barricaded inside the home. Police have now thrown a smoke bomb into the home to try and get the man out.
“I believe that the male is getting progressively more agitated so we are making sure that we are containing the situation,” said Melanie Labelle of Cornwall police.
It’s unknown if weapons are involved.
Roads are blocked between Eighth and Ninth Streets and Cumberland and York Streets are blocked off.
