A SWAT team has arrived on the scene in Georgia where a gunman has five firefighters hostage.

Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Edwin Ritter says firefighters on Wednesday responded to a medical call in Suwanee and were taken hostage by a suspect he didn’t identify.

Suwanee, where the incident is, is about 35 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta.

The residence is near Collins Hill Rd. and Taylor Rd., according to the local NBC affiliate. Police are unsure of the gunman’s motives right now.

A photo circulating online is claimed to be of the house where the firefighters are being held hostage.
