A SWAT team was dispatched Monday morning to the Target store in Woodbury Village for an “active scene,” police said.

The store, located near Valley Creek and Interstate 494, was placed on lockdown, police said.

“The public is asked to stay away from the Valley Creek Plaza area,” police said in a statement posted on Facebook. “If in the immediate area, shelter in place.”

Police said they could not comment further at this time.
