    KAMLOOPS, B.C. — RCMP say a man has barricaded himself inside a restaurant in Kamloops, B.C.
     
     
    Cpl. Jodie Shelkie says the man was a customer in a Denny's restaurant early today but allegedly made a threat after receiving his bill.
     
     
    She says staff and other customers left the restaurant but the man remained and police were called.
     
     
    The man closed the blinds of the restaurant when officers arrived.
