After Thursday's game, it could be a Lion's fan.

Seriously, I hope this is minor in the scheme of things. Neenah - nice working class town.

Due to the lack of any media mention there must be no Planned Parenthood within 10 miles of the shots fired.

Police in a Wisconsin town said Saturday they were investigating a shooting and active hostage situation at a motorcycle shop.

More than 30 shots had been fired at Eagle Nation Cycles in Neenah, the mayor told reporters, according to Fox 11 News.

Mayor Dean Kaufert said one person was taken to the hospital in connection with the shooting which took place on Main Street in the heart of town.

Kaufert said there were people in the basement of the cycle shop, Fox 11 reported.

Earlier, the Neenah Police Department said on Facebook that officers had evacuated a number of homes and businesses near the cycle shop.

"Working to maintain safety. Please continue to stay away from the area," the Facebook post said.

Police had also advised area residents to shelter in place away from windows and preferably in a basement.

Police said a man waked into the store and fired a weapon, WBAY-TV in Green Bay reported.

Police on the scene included Swat Teams from the Appleton Police Department and the Winnebago County Sheriffs Office.

We'd better check MSNBC. They'll be sure to report on it.

Reuters reports person in custody:

Dec 5 (Reuters) - Police have one person in custody after a shooting and possible hostage situation prompted the evacuation of homes and businesses near a motorcycle shop in Neenah, Wisconsin, according media reports.

A man walked into Eagle Nation Cycles in Neenah, a city of about 25,000 people some 100 miles (160 km) north of Milwaukee, on Saturday morning and fired a gun, and the scene became an active hostage situation, according to WBAY-TV in nearby Green Bay, citing a police report.

One person was taken to a hospital, the station said.

By early afternoon, the station and WLUK-TV reported that a person was taken into custody but gave no further information. A police dispatcher in Neenah said any updates would be on the department's Facebook page.

On its Facebook page, the Neenah Police Department said one shot was fired and it had evacuated homes and businesses, but it provided no further details. People were being asked to stay at least a quarter mile away from the scene.

It seems bizarre that there isn't anything on this after the initial reports, Neenah must be more remote?

Neenah is in the Fox Valley south of Green Bay.

One civilian and one police officer wounded, not seriously. There may be two in custody, not sure. Some of the comments at the City of Neenah PD Facebook page provide more info.
