Multiple Kelowna RCMP cruisers swarmed Orchard Plaza Tuesday Morning after reports of an individual with a gun.

According to a witness, the incident happened outside of MEC.

An RCMP officer at the scene told Castanet that the alleged handgun turned out to be a BB gun.

"It was a very real-looking BB gun," the officer said.

The male possessing the BB gun reportedly had all the correct paperwork.

The Kelowna RCMP have now left the scene.
