COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Police have taped off the Walmart store on Conley Road in east Columbia.

Police taped off the entrance to the grocery section of Walmart, but the entrances to the home and pharmacy sections were not taped off.

An ABC 17 News reporter saw Walmart employees in the Firestone Tire store on Conley Road while police investigated. At least 50 people were seen in the parking.

Customers told ABC 17 News that a bomb threat led to the evacuation. The Columbia Police Department later posted on social media that its officers were responding to a "threat" in the 400 block of Conley Road.

The reporter saw 10 Columbia Police Department vehicles along with Boone Health personnel at the scene.
