Armoured unit responds to incident in Saskatoon

Jul 14, 2013 | 2:39 AM

Residents on Pendygrasse Road got a shock on Saturday afternoon.

The Saskatoon Police Service blocked the road off just past Clancy Drive, with members of the Emergency Response Unit surrounding a house there with armed officers and a K-9 unit.

Dionne Hrynyk said she and her husband were returning home from a camping trip around 1:45 p.m. when they ran into police. “We werent able to get to our house… they just told us there’s a situation. We (saw) a couple S.W.A.T trucks and police walking around with guns,” she said.

The situation continued for several hours beyond that.

Gail Correia said police kept her back from her home at around 4 p.m.

She lives in a townhouse across from 354 Pendygrasse Road, where the incident took place.

I was blocked off at the 7-11 on Pendygrasse. I came around this way and was told that I couldn’t go home becaus it was too dangerous,” she said.

Correia said she was shaken after seeing heavily armed police on her normally sedate street.

“This is way too close to home for me. It’s scary that something like this is happening in my neighbourhood that’s usually so quiet,” she said.

The situation was resolved shortly after 7:10 p.m.

Staff Sgt. Cam Dreaver with the Saskatoon Police Service said the first patrol officers on the scene called in the Emergency Response Unit and the Crisis Negotiation Team as “a precaution.”

No charges have been laid so far.
