Calgary police are remaining posted outside a Penbrooke Meadows home on Friday morning as an armed suspect is still barricaded inside.
The incident, which was connected to a search warrant being executed at the home on Thursday afternoon, has been ongoing for more than 21 hours.
"Although I cannot provide additional details as the event remains dynamic and evolving, what I can is the event continues to present a significant threat to public and officer safety," said Supt. Joe Brar of the Calgary Police Service's operational support division on Friday morning.
At 3:30 p.m. police attended a home in the 300 block of Penswood Way S.E. with a search warrant.
As officers approached the home, they were fired on by an individual inside.
No one was injured, but police blocked off the home and told residents to avoid the area until further notice.
The order was later extended to include a section of Memorial Drive and residents were further instructed to find another place to stay until the situation was resolved.
