A shooting threat targeting Walmart stores is making the rounds online. The Habersham County Sheriff’s Office publicly addressed the threat.
In a Facebook post, the Sheriff says the information contained in the threat has not been verified.
“This is a post that came to my attention today. We have no information on this situation. Please remember that everything you read on Facebook is not always the truth. If more information is found out I will let everyone know. As always stay safe.”
Law enforcement in other parts of the country have addressed similar threats in the wake of a mass shooting in Texas. On August 3, a lone gunman killed 22 people and injured 24 others at a Walmart in El Paso.
If you have any information about an alleged threat you should immediately contact your local law enforcement agency.
