Winnipeg police arrested a 32-year-old man after he allegedly livestreamed himself holding a firearm and making threats toward the public on Wednesday.
Police say they were alerted around 2 p.m. to an online video showing a man waving a firearm while issuing threats. The investigation led officers to a residence in the 1300 block of McDermot Avenue West, where they believed the video originated.
Shortly after 4 p.m., officers located and arrested Devon Daniel James Ross inside the residence.
A 1916 Lee-Enfield rifle and an air-powered Slava 624 rifle were seized during the arrest.
Ross is charged with possession of a weapon, possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized, and possession of a firearm, restricted or prohibited weapon, firearm part, or ammunition contrary to a prohibition order.
He was detained in custody.
