BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Shoppers and workers at a Bloomington Walmart had to be evacuated Thursday due to a reported bomb threat.
The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office says a bomb threat was called in around 4:30 p.m. to the Walmart at 3585 W. State Road 45.
The general manager told investigators that a caller with a male voice told an employee that he was on his way to the store and had a bomb with him.
Police evacuated the store and deployed the Indiana University Police Department’s K-9 unit to search for explosives.
The Walmart was cleared after no devices were found.
The sheriff’s investigation unit has taken over the case.
