NEENAH, Wis., Dec. 5 (UPI) -- Homes and businesses were evacuated Saturday morning after a man opened fire at a motorcycle repair shop, sending at least one person to the hospital and holding another hostage.

Police reported a man walked into Eagle Nation Cycles in Neenah, Wis., early Saturday morning, and opened fire. A SWAT team, as well as representatives from six law enforcement agencies in the surrounding area, responded to the situation, according to WITI-TV.

Neenah Mayor Dean Kaufert told reporters there was a volley of shots fired -- possibly 30 or more -- however police have the scene was made safe and were in the process of "final clearing operations" in the area. "We believe we have everyone accounted for," Neenah Police Chief Kevin Wilkinson said. "There is no threat to the community."

A man who'd sold his motorcycle but changed his mind went into Eagle Nation this morning to retrieve the vehicle, reported the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
