Gun seized after distressed man talked down by police

A joint effort by St. Thomas and London police saw a distressed man armed with a gun taken into custody without anyone getting hurt.

St. Thomas police were called to a southwest-end home early Thursday night about a man in distress.

Police were told the man had a gun and the London police Emergency Response Unit was brought in to help defuse the situation.

After several hours of negotiations, the man was arrested without incident and a gun was seized.
