Police were notified of a possible threat around 10 a.m. and spent more than three hours searching the store for any possible explosive devices. Investigators determined the threat was unfounded, and there were no injuries reported during the incident.

A woman has claimed ownership over a dead woman’s Las Vegas home. 27-year-old Shalena Earnheart filed a deed in December showing that the late home owner supposedly transferred her ownership of the house to her.
