CHICAGO (CBS)-- A SWAT team responded to a commercial building in the South Loop Tuesday morning.
Police were called to the building because authorities said five men with guns were seen inside the building in the 1400 block of South Michigan Avenue. A group of people were gathering a room on the third floor when someone called police.
