"You're not used to seeing that kind of a situation, especially out here in Waterford. You know, probably you don't see that situation in a lot of areas," he added. "So it was a little overwhelming to see all that, but you feel better knowing these police officers and these sheriffs can respond that quickly."
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office confirmed that they are on the scene and that one person was arrested. Reports say the suspect was driving a stolen vehicle, but WWJ is still working to confirm the details.
