A shelter-in-place order has been issued in Welland, Ont., where police say an officer has been shot and a suspect has been contained inside a building.
Niagara regional police say the officer has been sent to hospital as a precaution and their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A spokesperson says the officer was responding this morning to reports of a shooting near Second Street and Plymouth Road.
An intoxicated man was saved earlier this month with the help of a police drone when he was not dressed for the extreme weather and found shelter in a dumpster.
