Active shooter reported at Middleton office building, multiple ambulances sent

http://madison.com/wsj/news/local/crime/active-shooter-reported-at-middleton-software-company/article_d3b29b73-e37b-5a06-9350-05ffd5efb8ee.html



Police and multiple ambulances were sent Wednesday morning to a Middleton office building on reports of an active shooter in the building, authorities reported.

The 911 Communications Center said at about 10:30 a.m. that the shooter was at 1850 Deming Way, which houses companies that include Esker Inc. and WTS Paradigm.

A Wisconsin State Journal reporter counted at least 40 police squad cars and ambulances from multiple jurisdictions outside the building and set up a perimeter.

More officers were continuing to arrive wearing bulletproof vests around 11 a.m. and FBI agents also were on the scene interviewing witnesses.

One woman was screaming as she was being led from the building, saying it was "a devastating loss." She was being held up by another person.

Andrew King, an employee at TrafficCast, 1800 Deming Way, said he saw a man carrying a handgun inside the 1850 Deming Way building.

"I saw a dude walking with a gun inside the building," King said. "He was just walking with it, and I didn't see any shooting."

40 police cars, doesn't sound good.  Could be domestic. One witness, said they saw the guy with a pistol.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.
