Local police would not respond to requests for comment.
UPS said it was assisting local law enforcement with the incident and called it an an "active shooter situation."
The UPS facility is surrounded by other facilities including Home Depot, Amazon and CEVA Logistics warehouses. Workers at some of those facilities told NBC10 they were told by police to go into lockdown procedures.
Logan Township School District schools are on a "modified lockdown." They said all students and staff are safe.
Drivers should avoid the area. Center Square Road was closed between Interstate 295 and Route 130 due to the police activity.
