'Really shocking': resident

Allan Moulding said there were police everywhere as he walked home Monday night.

"Unfortunately, our house was taped off, so I had to actually ask the police to let me in," he told CBC News on Tuesday.

Another nearby resident, Katie Norberg, said she was surprised by the police presence in the area.

"It's really shocking honestly," she said. "I wouldn't expect this to happen."
