APPLE VALLEY, Calif. (VVNG.com) — Reports of an active shooter at the Walmart Distribution Center Monday night in Apple Valley were determined to be unfounded, officials said.
It happened on July 19th just before 10:00 pm, at the large industrial warehouse building located near the corner of Dale Evans Parkway and Johnson Road.
Sheriff’s officials said deputies responded following a 911 call from a female at the location asking for help. “Soon after, Sheriff’s Dispatch received numerous calls reporting an active shooter at the location.” stated a sheriff’s news release.
All employees were evacuated from the building and when deputies arrived they learned no shooting had occurred. No injuries were reported and a security sweep of the business determined the reports were unsubstantiated, officials said.
