APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) – Police in Appleton are investigating a hoax 911 call that sent cops rushing to a downtown business on Monday.
Around 1:45 p.m., police say someone called 911 saying a man with an AK-47 was trying to shoot people in the 100 block of E. College Avenue.
That sent officers from the Appleton Police Department, Outagamie County Sheriff’s Department and the Wisconsin State Patrol to the area.
Upon arrival, cops didn’t see or hear any gunman in the business. A team went inside and spoke with employees. The officers then determined the call was a hoax.
