SOUTH WILLIAMSON, Ky. — Shoppers were unable to enter or leave Walmart for a brief time Monday afternoon, when the store went on lockdown after receiving some type of threat.

Kentucky State Police tell Mountain Top News that they investigated the threat and determined it to be “a hoax.”

Shortly after police arrived on the scene, the store reopened its doors and customers were allowed in and out once again.
