Breaking News: Bomb Threat Closes Walmart Monday Morning

The Walmart store in San Marcos was evacuated Monday morning after a bomb threat was called into the store’s office.

No bomb was found after a series of sweeps by first responders and store employees, and the store reopened an hour later.

The threat was called in at 9:13 a.m. The store was evacuated and all entrances closed while San Marcos police and firefighters conducted a sweep of the store to look for a potential bomb.

After first responders found no evidence of a bomb, employees were allowed back inside and were asked to look in their departments for anything suspicious.

At 10 a.m., the store was reopened and customers allowed back in.

The San Marcos Fire Marshal’s Office is now focusing their investigation to find out who made the bomb threat.
