There have been no immediate reports of casualties or injuries at the site. Numerous police cars and an ambulance have been spotted outside the facility.
Police in Gloucester County, New Jersey have responded to a report of an active shooter at a local United Parcel Service (UPS) facility. According to ABC, several police officers could be seen outside the UPS facility, taking cover behind their cars. There have been no official reports of injuries so far.
“UPS is working with law enforcement as they respond to an active shooter situation at one of the company’s supply chain processing facilities”, a UPS spokesperson said in a statement.
The spokesperson, however, refused to provide any information on the people involved in the incident.
A video, allegedly showing law enforcement officers rushing into the UPS facility, has surfaced online.
The person who filmed the video, Ashlee Erickson, told ABC that apparently someone who didn’t work at the UPS facility had had a “confrontation with their significant other”. Gloucester County said that 32 UPS employees were inside the building when the incident took place, but they have since been evacuated.
Local schools have been put on modified lockdown, but, according to the Logan Township School District, employees and students are in no immediate danger.
