Sure, has to be Virginia yet again. HEHE
(Short Pump, VA) -- People at the Short Pump Walmart took the new "Code Orange" terrorist alert seriously yesterday after the store was evacuated by a suspicious briefcase perched on top of a garbage receptacle. The case contained nothing but personal items, and police are now trying to locate its owner. Henrico Police spokesman Sergeant Tom Shumate says officers responded around 3:30 yesterday afternoon after the briefcase was found on the trash can just outside the store's garden center. Customers were asked to leave the store, and the parking lot was evacuated. The bomb squad came in and used x-rays and other technologies to inspect the bag. Upon finding nothing dangerous, they opened the bag and found its benign contents. The store was reopened around six last night
