Ottawa police say one person is in custody following an hours-long police response to a call about a person barricaded in a home on Baseline Road in west Ottawa on Saturday. The investigation drew dozens of officers and led to the closure of part of the busy thoroughfare for several hours. Baseline Road reopened to vehicle traffic shortly before 9 p.m. Saturday. Earlier in the day, several police cars and ambulances were parked along Baseline Road and more than a dozen police officers were on scene. Video taken by a CBC staff member showed a group of officers gathering near the front door of a home.
