— A high-risk police operation at a trailer park in Kamloops, B.C., involving a suspect who is believed to be armed resulted in a lockdown at nearby businesses and an elementary school and the closure of Highway 5. Jodi Shelkie said there was a significant police presence including an emergency response team at the G & M Trailer Park near the highway on Friday. Mounties instructed parents not to pick up their children from the nearby school, instead Shelkie said students would be bused to a local bridge where parents could pick them up. Residents of the trailer park were told to remain inside and to lock their doors and windows. Calver said she was listing to radio reports “to plan our routes home, if we can get out of here.”
