ARLINGTON -- Business returned to normal after a bomb threat prompted the evacuation of a Wal-Mart Supercenter in north Arlington earlier this afternoon.

Police said someone called the store just after 12:30 p.m. today and claimed that at about 1 p.m., a bomb would go off in the store, which is across the street from the new Cowboys stadium.

Several police officers and a bomb technician were dispatched to the scene, but no device was located in the store at 915 E. Randol Mill Road, a police spokeswoman said.
