A 19-year-old man is facing charges after someone called police about a man with a firearm Wednesday afternoon.

Officers responded to a residence in the 900 block of Avenue H North around 3:30 p.m., after two people outside were threatened by a man with a firearm.  

The suspect went back inside the residence before officers arrived.

With help from several police units including tactical support, canine, guns and gangs, crisis negotiators and patrol, five adults left the residence.

After searching the home, police found and seized a sawed-off rifle.

He will make a second appearance in Provincial Court on May 30 at 10:30 a.m.

Police said another man was also arrested during this incident for outstanding warrants.
