Mayor Barrett would not go into detail on what happened but told reporters in a brief press conference broadcast on local NBC station TMJ4 that there were “multiple fatalities.” He also said he believes the shooter is among those dead.
“It is a horrible, horrible day for the employees here. A very rough day for anyone who is close to this situation,” Mayor Barrett told reporters.
The Milwaukee Police Department tweeted out that the scene is still active, but that there is no “active threat.” They also said the official number of casualties has not yet been confirmed.
