Police Activity at Franklin and Prospect?

Anyone have a clue what was going on at Franklin and Prospect around 6:30pm on May 10? Police helicopter, huge police car presence, ambulances, taxi, neighbors shouting and pre-teen girls crying? Minus the helicopter, I would have assumed traffic accident, but something larger seemed to be happening. I asked a few people, but replies were confused.

Was wondering the same thing. Any information would be welcome.

I saw a few people get arrested, including one guy who was resisting and definitely on something stronger than alcohol. No idea what was going on, but it looked like they were raiding a few of the buildings which people are always hanging out in front of.

Does this mean I won't be able to watch drug dealing while eating my house burger at Franklin Roadhouse?

Don't know much other than a couple cops got maced, at least that's what a cop told me. He wouldn't tell us anything else though.
