RCMP: Man reportedly carrying gun was just carrying umbrella

RCMP are done investigating a report of a man carrying a gun on his back and say he was just carrying an umbrella.

Police say just before 8AM it was called about a  man walking up Confederation Way towards Dickensfield carrying either a gun or a sword.

RCMP found the man on Dickens Drive by the Shell station and determined it was just an umbrella.

RCMP say at first glance, it did look like a firearm or sword.

Nearby schools were informed of the incident, but have since been told there’s no threat.
