Bomb Threat, Shooting At Alpharetta Store False: Forsyth Sheriff

ALPHARETTA, GA — A Forsyth County retail store had to be evacuated after claims of a bomb threat and the attempted shooting of a woman in the parking lot, authorities said Wednesday.

The Forsyth County Sheriff's Office said deputies were first dispatched to the Atlanta Highway store around 6 p.m. Tuesday.

An anonymous woman called the store's pharmacy with claims that two men were attempting to shoot her before hanging up, authorities said.

Six minutes later, authorities said the pharmacy received a second phone call from a woman alleging a bomb was present in the store's front bathroom before again hanging up the phone.

The store was evacuated, and four bomb dogs swept the building, authorities said. They added they did not find a bomb, and there was no evidence of an active shooter in the parking lot.

Authorities did not say if anyone will face charges in the case.
