Langley RCMP locked down a Walnut Grove street late Sunday afternoon for several hours as they negotiated with an apparently suicidal man.
Police arrived in the 20600 block of 87th Avenue at about 4: 45 p.m., said Cpl. Holly Marks.
The Emergency Response Team and other police were called out because the man was thought to have a gun.
After more than three hours, the man was taken into custody, unharmed, and taken to hospital at about 8 p.m.
The man was arrested outside of the home, and on Monday police were seeking a search warrant so they could look for the firearm inside, Marks said.
The man's identity is not being released.
