Walmart evacuated after reports of smoke. Fire rescue investigates and gives all clear
For the second time in just a couple months, Walmart was evacuated while fire crews investigated a report of the smell of smoke in the building. Some people in local Facebook groups reported that lights went out in the building just before smoke was smelled. Fire crews responded quickly, and determined the scene was clear of any danger. Walmart began operating as usual shortly after.
Man taken into custody after SWAT teams rush home
SWAT teams rushed the home of a man that neighbors say was acting erratic, smashing out car windows in neighboring driveways. This happened in Ashby Landing just behind epic theaters. The man was believed to be well armed and not responding to police calls for communication. Just around 1am, police entered the home and confirmed they had their suspect in custody, although could not confirm his physical state at the time. Rescue crews were on scene, and we can confirm that a stretcher was deployed. We will release any information as it becomes available.
