WAVERLEY: <\/strong>An incident along Waverley Road on Monday morning left area residents a bit concerned and panicked as to what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Const. Mandy Edwards, with the RCMP, said they responded Oct. 27 to a report of a barricaded person inside on home, located in the 2000 block of Waverley Road. The call came in at approximately 6:57 a.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The barricaded person had a weapon. No one else was at the home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The homeowner who lives in the home made a post on several community Facebook pages in Waverley and area clarifying some details around the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jack Hartigan made the post as more than a few people had been inquiring about an extreme incident that occurred at his property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAt some point in the early hours of Monday a man entered my property with a rifle and barricaded himself in the house,\u201d said Hartigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI was not staying there on Sunday night as I had an early morning hockey practice and stayed at my parents in Bedford. \u201cAs I was made aware of this situation police were contacted and due to their swift and quick response no one was hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI can\u2019t say enough good things about how they handled the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hartigan said after processing what had happened, he felt there was not enough communication with the public that the person was not him who had barricaded themselves in the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGiven I work a very public job where I am coaching \/ instructing \/ mentoring athletes I felt I needed to clear the air on this,\u201d he said. \u201cAs a few of you may have seen me back on the ice coaching at 3pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hartigan moved to Waverley five years ago after living and coaching in Germany, so he hadn\u2019t been around the community a lot and only knows a few neighbours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI would never want anyone to think that where I live has any bad things happening there,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs anyone who knows me knows I spend 10-12 hours a day at an arena or my training facility\/store. Most of the time when I stay in Waverley it\u2019s simply to sleep or relax outside.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officers along with the N.S. RCMP Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services, and a crisis negotiator attended the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neighbours may have heard loud noises during the police operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can confirm that no shots were fired,\u201d said Const. Edwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Const. Edwards said police do anticipate putting out further information related to the incident at future date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
