Video: Heavy Police Presence at Wisconsin Mall Amid Reports of Active Shooter, Multiple Injuries

A massive police response has been reported at the Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where they are responding to reports of a gunman opening fire.

According to CBS Milwaukee, police were called to the shopping mall around 3 p.m. People in the building have been ordered to shelter in place. Bus lines stopping at the mall have also been rerouted.

The Milwaukee Medical Examiner's Office, which typically responds to death incidents, explicitly noted on Twitter it was not responding to the Mayfair Mall incident. However, Stephanie Sutton, a reporter with the local ABC affiliate, reported "multiple victims" and that an eyewitness has reported between 8 and 12 gunshots.

According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, police were heard saying on the radio: “Start EMS [emergency medical services]. Everyone seems to be coherent. It’s just in appendages. Nothing fatal at this point."

Another clip of police radio chatter played by WISN included an officer saying there were seven victims and described the shooter as a white male wearing a gray hoodie. Another WISN reporter, however, suggested a seventh victim might exist and might be a minor.

In a statement, Wauwatosa Mayor Dennis McBride said none of the victims' injuries appeared life-threatening, but that the shooter was still "at-large."

In February, 17-year-old Alvin Cole was fatally shot at the Mayfair Mall by Wauwatosa police. After prosecutors decided not to bring charges against the officer for the shooting, protests hit the city for several days and 28 people were arrested, according to WISN. There was also a shooting in the mall parking lot later in October in which a person reportedly shot themselves non-lethally in the leg in a drug deal gone wrong, according to the Journal-Sentinel.
