The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department (CMPD) is continuing to investigate after a call caused a store to evacuate on Sunday, March 20.

According to the CMPD Twitter account, Freedom Division officers responded to the 3200 block of Wilkinson Boulevard for an assault with a deadly weapon call. No one was hit by gunfire and a store in that block was evacuated, according to officers. Officials also said a person of interest was detained and they're not looking for anyone else.

While officers did not identify which store was evacuated, the area does host a busy shopping center. Medic confirmed no patients were transported from the scene. Walmart's corporate office later confirmed it was the store.
