    Few details are available but police say they were called to the home Monday night.

    Her body was found after officers answered a call about a weapon in a home.

    RCMP say they have also been called in to help city police with an investigation in nearby Fort Saskatchewan.

    Mounties closed off access to the community's downtown early this morning but later reopened the area.

    RCMP say the situation has been resolved and there is no threat to the public.

    Police haven't said whether the three incidents are linked.
