VERNAL, Utah — The all-clear was given by police, and there is no danger to the public after a reported "active threat incident" at the Walmart in Vernal on Thursday.
The public was told to avoid the area surrounding the Walmart, but officials never clarified what was happening.
The city of Vernal posted to social media on Thursday afternoon, "There is a significant police presence at the Vernal Walmart. Law enforcement is asking the public not to go to Walmart or enter the surrounding area at this time."
Just before 4:30 p.m., police said there was no longer an active threat and people were once again allowed to shop inside the store.
