Wal-Mart rumors stem from hoax

A Web site, text messages and word-of-mouth rumors warning patrons to avoid Wal-Mart or risk becoming the shooting victim of a gang initiation appear to be a hoax, Brevard County sheriff’s deputies said. Local police agencies across Brevard began receiving calls about the rumor this afternoon, spokesman Maj. Greg Purden said. The rumor seems to have “spread like wildfire,” he said.

“As far as we know, this is a ghost message,” said Purden. “At this time, it doesn’t seem to be credible, but we are on the alert for any suspicious activity and we are following up on any leads we might get.”

Purden said the sheriff’s office issued an alert to all agencies to be aware and keep an eye out while they continue to investigate. Eurovision Louis Vuitton Shopper Taveller, Natasha Richardson Autopsy, Dr. Manhattan Blue naked nude photos from watchmen movie,WalMart gang initiation threat
