Milwaukee heavy police presence; 22nd and North

MILWAUKEE - A heavy police presence was seen early Thursday morning, Oct. 17 on Milwaukee's north side -- in the area of 22nd and North.

The site of police attention seems to be on the old Milwaukee Mall, you may remember from years ago, which is now shut down. An officer on scene told FOX6 News a standoff is ongoing with an armed suspect possibly in the abandoned building. 

Officers in SWAT gear and two SWAT trucks are at the scene. FOX6 crews also spotted two drones and heard officers issuing commands.
