There is a significant police presence in the area of Livingstone street at this hour as police respond to a potential weapons offence.
An area of the street has been cordoned off with police tape and the RNC says a home has been contained.
People are being asked to avoid the area, and nearby residents are asked to obey the directions of police.
One week ago police responded to a report of shots fired on the same street, as well as a weapons offence on nearby Casey Street.
VOCM News will have more information as it becomes available.
