The caller told police that there was blood in the residence and children were also inside.
Waupaca County dispatch said they could hear yelling in the background while they were gathering information.
When officers arrived they could hear yelling inside the residence and found blood inside leading to the upstairs.
Officers found the children in the house and got them out safely.
