SPRINGFIELD - Police are on the scene of a shooting in the South End that involved police.

At least one person was transported to the hospital shortly after 4 p.m.

Details are at the moment extremely sketchy. More information will be posted as it develops.

The scene at Main and Williams Street is in the area of the South End hardest hit by the recent tornado. The area was already cordoned off by the Massachusetts National Guard earlier in the week due to danger from possible building collapses, and guardsmen were not allowing the press or general public within two blocks of the scene.

abc40 television is reporting that police officers shot two people.

Dozens of police and detectives were dispatched to the scene.
