St. Joseph's Hospital in Estevan has been on lockdown Wednesday morning due to incidents in the city.

ESTEVAN - Emergency crews were called to the scene of an incident at the Estevan Police Service's building Wednesday morning.

Traffic was being diverted from the 1100-block of Fourth Street, and ambulances were seen in the back alley behind the police station.  

It has been confirmed by the Estevan Police Service that two people, including a member of the EPS, suffered serious injuries in an incident at the police station.
