Rumor of Violence at Wal-Mart Called a Hoax

A number of people have received a suspicious text message warning of a gang initiation at Wal-Mart in which three women will be killed. It reads:

“Police are asking all women not to go to any Wal-Mart tonight. There is a gang initiation and three women will be shot. This is not a joke. Please forward.”

The texts have been received from coast to coast.

Based on the lack of details in the text messages with reports emerging across the nation and the fact that nothing has actually happened, law enforcement agencies concur that the reported threat of violence is a hoax.
