A neighbour said she noticed a commotion around 9 a.m.
“I saw two police cars in that neighbour’s driveway,” Laleta Anghad said.
Anghad said the residents of the home seemed like nice people and she often saw a young child playing outside their house.
“At times I would go and say hi to the baby too. Otherwise I had no conversation, but they seem like nice people,” she said.
As of noon, there was still one Waterloo regional police cruiser parked at a nearby residence.
The area was closed to traffic for a period of time Thursday morning, but has since fully reopened.
