One of the first public uses of the Winnipeg Police Service's military-style armoured vehicle helped officers get a BB gun off the streets. "When we were first made aware of this incident — let me make this very, very clear — we were not aware that this was a BB gun. This was described to us as a gun, as a weapon, and potentially a high-powered gun," said police spokesman Const. Police seized this 'Uzi-style' BB gun from a home in the city's Spence neighbourhood. A search turned up an "Uzi-style" replica BB gun that was believed to have been used to threaten the group that was in the car, Michalyshen said.
