Authorities in Neenah, Wisconsin are currently negotiating with an active shooter who has barricaded himself inside a building and officials fear he may have hostages.

“Neenah PD is monitoring a high risk incident in the 200 Blk of Main St. There has been a report of at least one possible shot fired,” Neenah police said on its Facebook page.
“If you reside within 1/4 mile radius from Main St./Doty.Shots have been fired. Shelter in place away from windows, in a basement if possible,” it wrote.
The Clark Medical Center in Neenah is preparing to receive two patients, among them possibly a police officer, WBAY-TV 2 reported.
