Members of the Tactical Rescue Unit attended and communication was initiated with the male, who was barricaded inside a residence. After a period of time, officers entered the residence. Once inside the residence, officers were confronted with a male holding and edged weapon. An interaction ensued and an officer discharged an ARWEN (Anti-Riot Weapon Enfield). The male was apprehended and transported to hospital with a serious injury.
