Dodge City Police Investigate Threats Made Against Walmart

Dodge City, Kan.–At approximately 3 p.m. Friday, Walmart customer service staff received a phone call from an anonymous individual making serious threats of violence toward the Dodge City Walmart within a specific timeframe. Officers immediately responded to the situation. Upon arrival, officers learned the individual was still on the phone with customer service staff and took over the call.

During the call, the individual continued to extend the timeframe in which the threats were expected to occur.
