Police in Moncton, N.B., have released the name and picture of a man they believed is armed with a gun in the west end of the city, and who may pose a hazard to himself.
RCMP Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh says police are concerned about the safety and well-being of 20-year-old Travis Squires.
Police say they responded around 5:30 a.m. to a home on Shamrock Avenue where reports suggested a man was doing damage in the house and had assaulted another man.
They say a witness saw the man go into a shed where a firearm had been stored.
Codiac RCMP blocked off a section of the Salisbury Road, but it was re-opened by mid-afternoon.
Residents of the Rosewood Trailer Park are asked to stay inside their homes as a precaution, and police are going door-to-door seeking information on Squires' whereabouts.
Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP.
