MARSHFIELD, WI (WSAU) — Popp Avenue between Mann and Spencer Streets is clear as police say they have taken a person into custody in connection with a gun-related incident on Thursday
Officers responded to a report of a person outside of a home in the area making homicidal statements while holding what appeared to be a long-barreled rifle. When police arrived on the scene, that person barricaded themselves inside the home.
Officers were able to open up a dialog with the person, and according to a press release they surrendered shortly before 2:30 PM
The person’s name has not been released and it is unclear what, if any, charges they may face.
Police were also active at the scene Wednesday evening but had cleared out by 9 PM. According to a Facebook post, they had returned to the area just after noon today. A release from the Police Department did not specifically say if the two situations were related.
