The Oneida Nation said there was an "active shooter" situation at one of their casinos in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, with local media reporting multiple victims although it is unclear how many were shot or their conditions.
Multiple law enforcement agencies are working at the scene, which remains active, even though State Attorney General Josh Kaul said the situation is “contained” and there is “no longer a threat to the community.”

“I am incredibly thankful for the swift action of our law enforcement, who were able to apprehend the shooter quickly,” tweeted Wisconsin's 5th Assembly District Rep Jim Steineke.
The shooting took place at a casino across the road of the Green Bay Austin Straubel International Airport around 7:30pm. While the investigation is ongoing, all other Oneida Casino locations will be closed as a precaution until further notice, Oneida Nation of Wisconsin tweeted.
