KINGSTON, ONT. Kingston police say a community caution for the Rideau Heights neighbourhood is over, even as officers continue to search for a man they believe is armed with a handgun. In a release Saturday morning, police said they were called to Montreal Street and Highway 401 at around 8:45 a.m. on reports of gunshots and said a suspect had fled the area. The suspect is described as a white man in his 20s, who was last seen wearing a white shirt and blue pants. Police believe he is still armed and should be considered dangerous. Kingston police cordoned off the Rideau Heights area from Highway 401 to the north, Montreal Street to the east, John Counter Boulevard to the south and Division Street to the west in search of this person. Everyone in that area was asked to stay in place and other residents were asked to avoid the area.
