CBS6 is reporting that the Walmart at 2410 Shelia Lane was evacuated Tuesday afternoon after receiving a bomb threat call.

A Walmart employee told CBS 6 that she answered a call to the fitting room that said ”there is a bomb in the building.”

One witness said that a “Code Brown” was called on the PA system, then the store was evacuated.

After a sweep of the store, police deemed there was no bomb in the building and the store was reopened.
