Gun toting man waiting for ride

What started out as a manhunt quickly turned into a false alarm.

Kamloops RCMP were called to the area of Tranquille Road and Schreiner Street shortly before 8:30 a.m. Thursday morning for reports of a man with a long gun.

The caller indicated the man was dressed in camo gear and standing on the roadside.

Police blocked off the road while they searched the area for the man.

They responded with numerous officers, air support and a K9 unit.

But it turns out the man was a hunter waiting to be picked up.

Kamloops RCMP thanks the public for their patience during the incident.
