The Journal Sentinel is reporting the following. "The apartment building, next to Aurora West Allis Medical Center, was been evacuated by police without finding the suspect, who "is affiliated with the apartment building" and fled the scene.

Just after noon Sunday, yellow police tape still surrounded the building and blocked the northbound lanes of 92nd St. for a little more than a block. Investigators could be seen out front putting on powder-blue plastic booties before going inside."
