The Super Wal-Mart in Georgetown is back to normal after it was evacuated when a suspicious device was found in the portrait studio of the store Tuesday afternoon. After investigation by the Austin Police Bomb Squad, the device was found to be an aerosol can with wires coming out if it.

Georgetown Police say around 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, an employee reported the device to the store manager. Dozens of customers and employees were evacuated into the parking lot during the investigation.

An Austin Bomb Squad robot X-rayed the device and found it to not be explosive.

Now police are trying to figure out who put the device made to look suspicious inside the store.
