There was an urgent situation for the Airdrie RCMP in the Luxstone neighbourhood early in the afternoon of Friday, October 14. Cst. Rob Frizzell has details. 

Frizzell says, in the interest of keeping children safe, school buses were asked to leave the area because of the potential for weapons. Police apologize to parents trying to pick up their children while the investigation was underway. Things had returned to normal and were safe again after police arrested the suspect. Traffic and pedestrians were allowed back into Luxstone by mid-afternoon.

Further details will be released as the investigation continues.
