Not sure if that link worked proper but you can listen to the police radio here. Doesn't sound good, looking for a bad guy in a house, with discussion of a victim.

Wish all involved the best.

No saying this is related but there was a story about a violent offender not reporting back to an Edmonton psych center.

RCMP and municipal authorities are staying tight-lipped about a civil emergency in the region of St. Paul, northeast of Edmonton.

The region of St. Paul declared a civil emergency at about 7 p.m. Sunday to keep people away from Highway 36, said Rob Duffy, director of emergency management.

The highway was closed south of the community of St. Brides, 15 kilometres west of St. Paul, in what RCMP were calling a "fluid situation."

"It's being handled right now with the local RCMP detachment, and if they request help they'll come through myself and we'll get the province involved if we need it," Duffy told CBC News Monday morning.

"With what happened last night, RCMP felt it was in the best interest to keep the public away from this area."

Duffy said there are a few homes in the area.

A civil emergency is defined on the Alberta government's website as "an emergency that disrupts normal civilian activities."

Traffic was being rerouted. RCMP are asking the public to avoid the area until they finish dealing with the situation.

Weird silence on this. Must be some type of kidnapping or hostage type situation?
