Update: Walmart now reopened.

Around 1:30 this afternoon, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office evacuated Walmart on Grant Avenue because of a bomb threat.

Employees and customers waited outside the store, while the Tahoe Douglas Bomb Squad K-9 and Douglas County Sheriff’s Office Detectives investigated the threat.   They cleared the store, and nothing suspicious was located. 

About 3:45 this afternoon, employees were allowed back in, and the store is now open to the public.Â
