Police are responding to a “very active situation” amid reports of a series of shootings at a mall in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Reports suggest that several people were injured in the incident at Mayfair Mall in Wauwatosa.
The photos show a heavy armed police presence at the scene.
Members of the Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Office, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Wauwatosa Police, the Wisconsin National Guard and other departments have responded.
Dennis McBride, the mayor of Wauwatosa, said none of the injured appeared to have life-threatening injuries.
Witnesses told WISN-TV that they heard what they believed to be eight to 12 shots.
The mall was the site of a February shooting in which a police officer, Joseph Mensah, shot and killed Alvin Cole, a 17-year-old black man.
Officers claimed Cole was on the run from police. Mensah, who is also black, said he shot Cole because Cole pointed a gun at him.
The mall has been the subject of sporadic protests for several months in the wake of the shooting.
