Back in February, Mayfair Mall was the site of a shooting in which a police officer shot and killed Alvin Cole, a black 17-year-old, Sky News reports.
Officers claimed Cole was fleeing from police. Police officer Joseph Mensah, who is also black, said he shot Cole because Cole pointed a gun at him.
The mall has been the target of demonstrations in the wake of the killing.
About 75 police officers have descended on the mall today.
Brookfield Properties, Mayfair's Mall management company, said: "We are disheartened and angered that our guests and tenants were subject to this violent incident today.
"We are thankful for our partners at the Wauwatosa Police Department and we are cooperating with them as their investigation develops."
