As the tweet sugeests, sources are saying the shooter was an employee of the brewery.
At least six people have been killed in a shooting at the MillerCoors campus in Milwaukee, according to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
The newspaper, citing sources, said that the shooter is also dead.
Police earlier that tweeted that a “critical incident” was transpiring Wednesday afternoon at the beer manufacturer.
A MillerCoors employee said she received an email about an active shooter, WISN reported.
The Milwaukee Police Department said in a tweet at 2:35 p.m. local time that they were investigating, but did not describe it as a shooting. The cops asked people to avoid the area.
The ATF is reportedly responding to the scene. I’m sure the FBI and other law enforcement agencies will be responding as well.
