Bomb threat prompts evacuation of two Walmart locations

It was an abrupt end to an evening of shopping for customers at two local Walmart stores.

In both cases store management made the decision to evacuate and called in police.  

Shoppers report being told  via PA announcement to leave everything and get out immediately.   

Ottawa police say  no suspicious packages were found.  They cleared the scene quickly after determining there was no danger to the public.
