The ordeal came to an end around 6 p.m., according to RCMP. No one was injured and RCMP say there is no further risk to public safety.

The Okotoks RCMP and the RCMP Emergency Response Team turned out in force at around 11:30 a.m. in the neighborhood of Heritage Lake Shores.

Residents were asked to stay inside and wait for further instruction from police. The force also asked the general public to stay clear of the area and not share details of police movements and locations on social media.

The RCMP didn't specify the nature of the emergency.
