DOZENS OF OFFICERS HAVE SWARMED A NEIGHBORHOOD IN NEW BERLIN. PATRICK: VIDEO JUST INTO OUR NEWSROOM FROM NEWSCHOPPER 12 SHOWS OFFICERS LEADING SOMEONE OUT OF A WOODED AREA AND PLACING THEM INTO A POLICE CAR. THEY HAD BEEN SEARCHING THE AREA NEAR MOORLAND AND BELOIT ROADS. INTERSTATE 894 IS ALSO CLOSED AT OKLAHOMA AVENUE FOR A SHOTS FIRED INVESTIGATION. WE DON’T KNOW IF IT’S RELATED TO THE SHOOTING AT MAYFAI JOYCE: LET’S GET RIGHT TO MATT SALEMME IN NEWSCHOPPER 12 ABOVE THE SCENE IN NEW BERLIN. >> THE POLICE SENT OUT AN ALERT, SAYING THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR SUBJECTS INVOLVED IN A PURSUIT FROM MILWAUKEE COUNTY. IT LED THEM TO THIS WOODED AREA BETWEEN WEST ARMOR AVENUE AND SOUTH MORELAND ROAD. THERE ARE STILL OFFICERS IN THE WOODS. I THINK THEY MIGHT STILL BE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE. MOMENTS AGO THE FLASHLIGHTS CAME ON AND I COULD SEE A DOG SNARLING, AND SOMEBODY THAT DAY DRAGGED OUT AND PUT IN A SHERIFF SQUAD, -- SHERIFF’S SQUAD. THEY ARE NOW BACK IN THE WOODED AREA, STILL SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING, SO I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE SITUATION. WE HAD A LOT OF COPS COME DOWN THIS WAY AND JOIN THE SEARCH AS WELL. JOYCE: THANK YOU. 12 NEWS’ DERRICK ROSE IS LIVE AT THE SCENE. DERRICK. DERRICK: WE SAW SIX LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS GO FROM THE MALL THIS DIRECTION ALONG MORELAND ROAD. ACROSS THE STREET IS WHERE WE HAD A LOT OF POLICE WITH THEIR LIGHTS ON EARLIER. THEY HAD BEEN POINTED IN THE DIRECTION OF THESE WOODS. IF YOU LOOK STRAIGHT THROUGH THAT WOODED AREA, THAT IS THE RESIDENTIAL AREA MATT SALEMME WAS REFERRING TO. THOSE AREAS ARE SEPARATED BY THE WOODS. WE HAVE SEEN POLICE USE DRONES TO CONTINUE THE SEARCH. ON OUR WAY HERE, WE WERE PASSED BY SEVERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS, SO A BUSY AND ACTIVE DAY FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT. WE DID CHECK THE TRANSMISSIONS EARLIER TODAY TO GET AN IDEA OF HOW THIS STARTED. HERE IS WHAT WE FOUND. >> IT’S A BLUE NISSAN ALTIMA. THEY JUST FIRED SEVERAL SHOTS AT MY SQUAD. DERRICK: THAT IS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS SAYING SOMEONE FIRED SHOTS AT HIS SQUAD. YOU CAN SEE A SHERIFF’S DEPUTY GOING DOWN MORELAND HERE. IT IS UNCLEAR IF THE OFFICER OFFICER WAS INJURED IN THAT SHOOTING. THE PO
