Six Nations Police (SN Police) and Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) were on scene and investigating an incident involving an 'active weapon complaint' on Chiefswood Road throughout the early morning hours of Nov 1.
Police say the suspect has been taken into custody and transported to a local hospital and no officers were injured.
Police say that at around 11:30 p.m. on Oct. 31 OPP Brant and Haldimand detachments were called to assist SN Police in the investigation.
SN Police Staff Sergeant Derek Anderson said the incident involved a barricaded individual that had been discharging a firearm at police officers.
OPP Sergeant Ed Sanchuk clarified at the time that this incident was not an active shooter situation and that police had the area contained.
"This is not an active shooter. This is a contained and isolated incident that we're currently dealing with."
A shelter in place advisory was put into effect for those residents in close contact with the investigation but the advisory has since been lifted. A continued police presence will be seen and Chiefswood Road will remain closed between Fifth Line and Sixth Line.
OPP updated the public on the suspect being taken into custody and transported to a local hospital and that the province's Special Investigation Unit (SIU) was notified and invoked its mandate in a media release.
"As a result of this interaction, the OPP has notified the province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU), which has invoked its mandate. As a result, the OPP will not be able to provide further information."
"The mandate of the SIU is to maintain confidence in Ontario’s police services by assuring the public that police actions resulting in serious injury, death, or allegations of sexual assault are subjected to rigorous, independent investigations. Incidents which fall within this mandate must be reported to the SIU by the police service involved and/or may be reported by the complainant or any other person," says SIU's website.
