A neighbour reported hearing a “man scream” late Saturday afternoon.

She said she was not sure if it was related but believed it came from the same house.

“I heard a man scream and then it abruptly stopped,” she said.

The woman said the neighbourhood was usually quiet and it was “out of the ordinary” to hear the scream.
