Police from across the Fox Valley swarmed the building, blocking off any access for several hours. When we arrived on scene around 4:00 p.m., people were being escorted outside with their hands held high.
Sawyer says he was in Scheel’s when it happened.
“Just heard a pop and then everybody said there was a shooting, and we all took off running,” he told WTAQ News. “It was scary!”
