A man in his 20’s has been arrested after police investigated reports of shots being fired inside a home on the Six Nations Reserve.

It happened around 10 this morning on Chiefswood Rd. Police say no one was injured and the man was taken to hospital for a mental health assessment. Several criminal charges are pending.

CHCH’s Donna Skelly asked Sgt Dave Smoke of Six Nations Police about a tweet that somebody had been taken hostage. “To my knowledge there was no indication of a hostage being held or any hostage situation. It was local residents and the officers knew the people involved, people knew the officers involved.”

“Officers were able to speak to residents and come to a peaceful conclusion under the circumstances.”

A stretch of Chiefswood Rd was closed, but has since re-opened. Police say they found a weapon in the home.
