SWAT, crisis negotiators called to Regina home

Regina police officers surrounded a home on McIntyre Street between First Avenue North and Second Avenue North for several hours on Thursday morning during a standoff.

Just after 10 a.m. a man came out of the house with one hand in the air and the other holding a phone to his ear. The man complied with police officers and was taken into custody.

McIntyre Street between Second Avenue North and First Avenue North was closed off for a period of time.
