On October 14, the Airdrie RCMP Crime Reduction Unit executed a search warrant in the Luxstone area of Airdrie. They contained a residence in the neighbourhood and arrested a man without incident. Constable Francine Hennelly says they seized a loaded assault rifle and three grams of cocaine.

Due to the high risk nature of the situation, school buses were not allowed to enter the area in the interest of public safety.
