A man turned himself in to police after pointing a pellet gun at traffic in Spruce Woods, Man. Friday night, RCMP said.

Mounties say military police from the Canadian Forces Base in Shilo, Man. spotted the man pointing the gun at traffic.

RCMP arrived a few minutes later to find the man in a residential yard, but he wasn't pointing the gun at traffic anymore.

Police closed the north gate of CFB Shilo as a precaution and redirected traffic away from the area.

RCMP said the man turned himself in within 15 minutes. No one was injured from the incident and police have not laid charges against the man.
