At virtually the same time as the Fort Worth Hulen Mall bomb hoax Sunday, panicked shoppers were seen sprinting out of a Waxahachie Walmart because of reports about loud noises some thought were gunshots.

Reports say it turns out this, too, was a false alarm. Waxahachie police cleared the store and reviewed security cam footage but nothing out of the ordinary turned up.

Investigators now say no shots were fired. They gave the all-clear to reopen the store by about 7pm Sunday.
