On May 7, 2009 around 5:30 PM Portage la Prairie RCMP responded to a complaint of a youth damaging property in a house.

When police arrived at a residence on Ojibway Trail, a male had barricaded himself in the house. The youth was threatening to hurt himself. When police approached the residence, the youth pointed a compound bow and arrow at them threatening to shoot the police.  Police were able to talk to the youth, and after about four hours, the youth was apprehended without injury to him or police.

The youth was transported to Portage General Hospital and then transferred to Health Sciences Centre in Winnipeg where he was admitted.
