Chaos erupted at the Secaucus Walmart this afternoon as shoppers and employees were forced to evacuate following a bomb threat. The incident unfolded around 1:30 PM, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement, according to Mayor Mike Gonnelli.
With little information and rising tension, customers abandoned their carts and rushed toward the exits, some fearing the worst. Employees followed emergency protocols, guiding people out while authorities secured the scene.
A Growing Pattern?
While details remain scarce, this evacuation raises concerns about safety in public spaces. Was this a hoax? A targeted threat? Or part of a larger trend of disruptions in New Jersey retail centers?
Police are investigating the credibility of the threat while the store remains closed. No injuries have been reported, but for those inside at the time, the scare was real.
Authorities urge the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. More updates to follow as the investigation unfolds.
