Wednesday morning marked a first for Littleton

LITTLETON — Wednesday morning marked a first for Littleton — shoppers in Walmart evacuated after a bomb threat, which was part of a larger group of threats made at Walmart stores across the state and nation. The call came in at 8:56 a.m. and prompted Littleton police to survey the store for any devices or dangers. The process lasted an hour. Little Fire Rescue assisted to help close the area as those evacuated were directed across the access road by the Shaw’s supermarket parking lot. No injuries were reported.
