Middleborough police respond to report of active shooter along Route 28

Channel 7 is just saying it's a "shooting suspect."

Large response by MSP and Middleboro PD. Large perimeter set up.

The MSP is about to deploy a drone as the helicopters are grounded due to weather.

Lots of activity on the radios.
