Accidental shooting in Madison triggers MATC campus lockdown

Milwaukee Wisconsin Journal Sentinel

Madison — An accidental shooting at a Madison blood bank led to a lockdown at a nearby college campus.

Police say a man who went to the Interstate Plasma and Blood Center Friday “to conduct business” had a gun in his clothing that accidentally went off. Police say his injury was not life threatening, and he ran away.  

That led to an hourlong lockdown across the street at Madison Area Technical College’s Truax Campus, which ended about 2 p.m.

At least one other nearby school and business also went into lockdown mode, but police say it doesn’t appear that the man threatened anybody or entered any schools.

Police later took a suspect into custody.

    I just HAVE to ask…

    …what kind of ‘business’ does one conduct at a Plasma and Blood center with a loaded firearm?
