Police are searching for two men - at least one of whom was armed -- in a residential burglary Monday night.

The incident happened just after 10 p.m. Monday on N. Mills Street near the UW campus.

The residents told police one of the suspects lifted up his shirt and showed a handgun concealed in his waistband, while demanding that the victims turn over their laptop computers.

Police said the men entered the home through an unlocked door.

No one was injured, but the burglars got away.

The men are described as African-American in their 20s. One has a thin build, while the other is heavyset. Both are around 5 feet 10 inches tall.

On Thursday St. Mary's staff participated in their own version of "American Idol" to celebrate Nurses Week.

Organizers said eight staff members mustered the courage to step onto the stage and into the spotlight much to the delight of those watching in the cafeteria.

After Thursday's event, employees will vote for their favorite performer and then the top vote-getter will be crowned the St. Mary's champ and receive a prize, the hospital said.

Emergency responders plan to assess response skills and train in a multi-agency drill Monday afternoon, organizers said. Due to the nearly four-hour exercise taking place near the Monona Terrace and Olin Park, traffic will be affected and public access to some areas will be restricted, organizers said.

The City of Madison and Dane County Metropolitan Medical Response System plans to conduct a training operation at Monona Terrace on John Nolen Drive from noon to 3:30 p.m., according to a news release.

Madison Fire Department Spokesman Eric Dahl said the drills will mean increased emergency response vehicle traffic throughout the exercise areas. He said eastbound John Nolen Drive will be reduced to one lane in the area in front of Monona Terrace for responder safety. Public parking and the bike trail at Monona Terrace will remain open during the drills, Dahl said.
