Steven Pegado lives in the unit next to where the standoff occurred, in the 300 block of Keenleyside Street. He told CBC police showed up around 2 a.m. and yelled the suspect's name, ordering him to come out.

Around 7 a.m., Pegado said, police told him and approximately 10 to 15 others to leave the housing complex.

"Cop cars had the whole street barricaded off," he said.

"From what I could see ... They were just negotiating with the suspect to get him to come out and coorperate."

By 9:30 a.m., officers were still stationed outside the unit and one hour later, the scene was clear.

Police said no shots were fired.
