A 43-year-old man is in custody following an armed-standoff with police in Lunenburg County late Sunday night.
The RCMP responded to a call to a residence in Crousetown where they found a man, whome they described as "suicidal", armed with a shotgun.
The Mounties secured the area and negotiated with the man for several hours before successfully negotiating his surrender.
The RCMP report that, although the man fired four shots in and around the building, no one was injured.
After an examination at the South Shore Regional Hospital, the Mounties held the man in custody overnight.
He appears at Provincial Court in Bridgewater on Monday.
