Armed standoff in Richmond ends peacefully

BY , Jun 23, 2021 7:29 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

An armed standoff that shut down part of a Richmond neighbourhood for several hours ended peacefully.

The Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team and Richmond RCMP were called yesterday by bailiffs trying to enforce a Supreme Court order to remove a man from a residence.

Police say the bailiffs reported the man came out on a second-storey balcony and fired several shots into the air.

A negotiator was called and the man left the house peacefully about four hours after the standoff began.

Richmond RCMP on Twitter:

1. Officers attending incident in East Richmond. Avoid the area. Police situation unfolding. Police have Westminster Hwy between Gilley and McLean blocked. Please use alternate routes.

2. The situation in East Richmond has ended safely. Thank you for your cooperation. Westminster Hwy has been re-opened.
