Earlier in the day, police cordoned off the city’s downtown and were telling people to avoid the area because of a serious, unfolding situation.

They asked the public to follow the direction of police and to avoid areas bordered by Eckhardt Avenue and Lakeshore Drive, and Main and Power streets.

“I understand that this is a deeply troubling incident that has taken place in our community,” De Jager told a news conference.
