MEDICINE HAT, AB — A man has been arrested following an incident that involved a fake firearm.
On Wednesday, August 7 around 4:30 p.m. an officer responded to a complaint at a multi-dwelling unit in the downtown core.
When the officer arrived, he found a man in the parking lot unrelated to the call. He was holding a handgun, appearing to be loading a round into the chamber.
As a result, the officer drew his service firearm, told the man to drop his weapon and called for back up.
