THREAT FORCES WALMART EVACUATION FOR SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A WEEK
(Richmond, IN)--For the second time in less than a week, Richmond’s Walmart was the target of a threat. The threat was called it at around 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. The caller had asked to speak with Richmond Police Chief Kyle Weatherly. The caller lost connection with dispatch, called back, and then threatened to kill people. Walmart was contacted and made the decision to evacuate the store. First responders investigated and cleared the scene in about an hour. No arrests were immediately made. Police did not initially directly tie Wednesday’s threat to one made last week, but there are similarities – including a specific mention by the caller of Kyle Weatherly. Last week’s caller demanded an apology from Weatherly for unknown reasons.
