Michigan State Police, the Barry County Sheriff’s Office, Hastings City Police, Fire and Ambulance emergency personnel all responded Thursday to a bomb threat at the Walmart Store in Hastings.
The building was immediately evacuated and the parking lot cleared as much as possible while Walmart employees stood outside waiting at the far end of the parking lot. Michigan State Police brought in two canine teams to search the building but found no explosives.
The Walmart store was finally re-opened around 3:15pm after police completed the search and issued an all-clear.
