Two male suspects were arrested after Winnipeg police engaged in a standoff with people they say may have been armed in the Westwood neighbourhood on Thursday, police said.<\/p>\n

Police arrived around 9:30 a.m. to deal with possibly armed people in the area, a spokesperson told CBC News on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

A person was seen walking with a firearm on Byrd Avenue and a home in the area was identified, Const. Claude Chancy said.<\/p>\n

Multiple police units went to the area, including the tactical support team and the drone unit, he said.<\/p>\n

Police pulled at least three people from a house, said a CBC videographer at the scene.<\/p>\n
