Campbell River RCMP say six people have been arrested after a lengthy standoff Sunday morning.

Police were called out to a home in the 600 block of Alpine Road around 2:30am after reports of multiple shots being fired.

Once at the residence, police required the assistance of the Island District's Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services, Crisis Negotiation Team and Campbell River Major Crimes Unit.

Few details are available, but after several hours, police safely brought six individuals into custody.

Sergeant Chris Voller thanked the public for staying out of the area, as had been requested by police.

Voller also reminding residents to refrain from posting photographs and videos of police incidents while they are unfolding.

He says sharing such images place both the police and civilians at greater risk, as often the people that police are interacting with, may make use of these images or alter their behaviors, resulting in greater risk to all involved.

Campbell River RCMP are asking that anyone with information related to these events to please contact the detachment.
