Another eyewitness claimed to see at least two people being treated.
A shoe shop worker said one of their customers was among the injured, adding: “Nobody can leave the stores anymore.”
Schaffhausen police confirmed they were involved in a “special situation” and are hunting for a suspect.
At least five people have been injured with two in a serious condition, a statement added.
Helicopters are said to circling above the northern town which lies on the border with Germany.
