CancerCare building cleared
CancerCare spokeswoman Roberta Koscielny said CancerCare officials were contacted by police just before 4 p.m., saying they believed an armed suspect was in the building.
The incident began about an hour earlier near the intersection of Ellice Avenue and Edmonton Street, when a car was stolen at gunpoint by two people.
Police tracked the stolen car to the Health Sciences Centre complex and one of the suspects was caught in a nearby parking lot.
Koscielny said police believed the other suspect fled into the CancerCare Manitoba building.
Police caught the suspect in the building's stairwell after 4 p.m.
