Peaceful Ending to Pikangikum Stand-Off

The OPP says a stand-off on the Pikangikum First Nation has ended
peacefully.

Police were called out shortly after 1:00 Thursday morning after a shot was
fired inside a home on the community during a domestic dispute.

No-one was injured, but the OPP's Emergency Response Unit and a Crisis
negotiator were dispatched to the scene.

A perimeter was set up around the house and around 10:00 yesterday
a male suspect gave himself up to police.

The OPP say charges are still pending in the incident.
