Shelter in place ended in Sundridge, Ont., one sent to hospital
Ontario Provincial Police say a shelter in place order in Sundridge ended Monday night following a stand-off involving drones and negotiators.

Several provincial police units responded to the call, including the emergency response team, tactics and rescue team, canine unit, crisis negotiators, remotely piloted aerial system, and critical incident commander.
