‘Quiet neighbourhood’
Nearby residents Tuesday morning were surprised there was so much police presence in their usually peaceful neighbourhood.
“It’s a little unnerving,” said nearby resident Doris Wilson. “It’s a very quiet neighbourhood. People get along, like, you say hello to people and everything else and it’s just been quiet.”
Wilson said she had never seen so much police activity in all the years she has lived in the area, hopeful for a positive outcome for everyone involved.
“It’s a really a good neighbourhood,” Wilson said.
