Officers again asked those in the area to keep children and pets indoors.While some residents of the 200-block of Michigan came out to see what was occurring, they worked with officers to maintain a safe distance, and to keep the area quiet and calm to allow the wolf to rest, and help officers keep it safely contained.Just after 6 p.m. B.C.
