The live news report was audio only, and said that ATF and the Bomb Squad just showed up, and police were going door to door telling the neighbors to leave.

This was the caption:

WISN 12 News has learned the FBI is on the scene of a home in Cudahy. We are awaiting a further update from our crew in Cudahy.


Edit - also:

Police expanded their security perimeter in Cudahy in the last 30 minutes.

Local news is reporting that this activity is at the intersection of Holmes and Packard.

that's been surrounded.

From what is on the screen it looks like it's in a middle class neighborhood...maybe a double-wide lot.

The report is that police and FBI have cleared a 4 block radius of that home.

I imagine their duplex neighbor is worried sick as to if they're going to have a home to come back to.

They are replaying this afternoon's presser right now, but apparently the scene at the house looks like a military zone with FBI/ATF by the dozens in full gear.

I just thought it seemed a tad sensational and odd. Wouldn't they have their guns drawn if they were going in to search a residence such as this?

Neither my tablet nor my phone does video well, so I thought I was missing something important. Thanks.

And there are some ginormous trees on the street blocking the view.

There is supposed to be an update in 40 minutes on the condition of the wounded, but from what they have been saying, there will not be any more police/fed updates tonight.

Dude is dead. I wonder why they didn't at least release his picture?

Two things come to mind. They may not want to release his name until they notify his family, or they may not want to release his name in case he's involved with a hate group and give them a chance to clean house.

Total speculation in both areas on my part.

I headed over to Stormfront tonight and quite a few are in a snit worried that this was "one of their own".

If this does end up being prosecuted as domestic terrorism, maybe that'll make them reconsider some of their bullshit rhetoric.

I didn't realize they were having to relay what's taking place due to there being no video. I'm guessing this person has a contact closer in than the rest of the media is being permitted.
