Original Story:
There's a heavy police presence in a Port Colborne neighbourhood this morning.
They got a call about a possible weapons incident, east of the Welland Canal and south of Durham Street.
Police have two houses under watch, one on Fares Street, north of Louis Street, and the other on Mitchell between Nickel Street and Decew.
Police are asking everyone in the area to stay indoors, keep doors locked, until the suspect has been caught.
