Officials are being tight-lipped on the details about an explosive device found at Wal-Mart. Police only told Eyewitness News it was “disrupted” and “diffused.”

Police say no one was injured by an explosive device that was detonated by a bomb squad at a Boone store.

Detective Matt Stevens of the Boone Police Department said the device was found at the front entrance of Wal-Mart by an employee about 5:40 a.m. Sunday. One worker said the package was smaller than a shoe box.

The store was evacuated for about five hours while a bomb squad from Wilkes County was called in to examine it. The store re-opened around 10:30 a.m. Sunday.

Stevens says the device was dangerous, but refused to further describe it. The only thing police said was the device would appear dangerous to the average person.
