There is a heavy police presence in the at Henry Pratt Compnay near Highland Avenue and Prairie Street. Illinois police confirm to WGN they are en route to an active shooter situation.

A law enforcement source told WGN that Kane County’s SWAT team has been deployed from as well as the U.S Marshal’s Task Force.

The source said that one Aurora police officer is down and the shooter is at large.

Two businesses in the area told WGN they have been told by police to stay inside.

Here is a statement from the West Aurora School District 129:

“There are reports of an active shooter at the Henry Pratt building near Cleveland and Prairie just east of Luigi’s Pizza, as a result, we are holding all district students in place for their safety, there is a police presence in the area. Per directions from the county sheriff, the District has been advised to go into a soft lockdown situation across the district. Teaching will continue with reduced movement. Normal operations will resume when the soft lockdown has been lifted. No one will be allowed to leave or enter our buildings until the soft lockdown has been lifted.”

This is a developing story. Check back for updates.

When they try to force gun control they are up against the US Constitution.

Right after Nancy Pelosi said a we should have a civil emergency for guns. This is like Obama with Sandy Hook. The day before he warned it would happen and the next day it happened.

The timing is quite remarkable.

Possible false flag.

Reminds me of the Aurora, Colorado theater shooting during the premiere of the Batman movie too.

Problem, Reaction, Solution - The Hegelian Dialectic.. How the powers that be manipulate and control news worthy events aka: false flags, in order to maintain power and control over the public, and more importantly to swing public opinion.
