It sounded like at least 40 shots were fired, said Andrea Mendias who works at an automobile body shop near the veterinary hospital.
Video from Mendias showed a number of officers pouring out of the back of an armoured police vehicle. Police were also sending robots into the area.
Blong said the situation was still evolving.
"Officers are containing the situation," she said.
