Aurora Walmart evacuated after upset customer threatens to “shoot up the store”

A Walmart in Aurora was evacuated Sunday morning after an upset customer allegedly threatened to “shoot up the store,” according to the Aurora Police Department.

It happened around 9 a.m. at a Walmart located at 3301 Tower Road in Aurora.

The man was located at a nearby bus stop and arrested on an active warrant for failing to register as a sex offender, according to Joe Moylan with APD.

Moylan said the man, who has yet to be identified by police, got into a verbal argument with store management on Saturday over a purchase he made.

The man felt he was overcharged and allegedly threatened to return and “shoot up the store,” according to Moylan.

Editor’s note: Aurora police initially reported the incident occurred at a Walmart location on East Colfax Avenue. They later corrected the address to the Tower Road location.
