In an update sent to news media, RCMP said the boy was taken into custody without incident at 3 p.m.
Due to his age, CTV News has removed his name and other identifying details from this story.
One person was reported to have suffered non-life threatening injuries, according to an RCMP news release issued early Wednesday afternoon.
