Mackenzie King Bridge Reopens After Police Operation

0:00It's April 19th. This is Canada News Today, powered by AI. I'm Corey with the story. Downtown Ottawa's Mackenzie King Bridge is open again after a police operation at the Redo Center this afternoon. Cops closed it around 2.20pm to keep everyone safe during the situation. The operation ran from about 1pm to 3pm, focused on helping a person in crisis right there at the shopping center. Folks in the area saw a heavy police presence, but the bridge shut now was short, lasting less than an hour with no reported injuries or bigger. Disruptions. De-escalation efforts paid off, wrapping everything up peacefully without any arrests or further issues. Police are scaling back their extra teams now, so traffic and security in the zone are getting back to normal real quick.
