Walmart shoppers were in for a scare Monday when they mistook flash-bang grenades as gunshots.
The FBI Street Task Force in Colorado used the flash-bang devices to help arrest three people.
Unaware of the task force’s presence, shoppers ran for cover.
“All of a sudden all these people started running down the aisle yelling, ‘Active shooter,’ shopper Edward Johnson told CBS4. “The Walmart employees herded us in the backroom and locked the door. We were in there for 15 min then they let us out,” Johnson said. “But, there were cops everywhere. Then, they started arresting a lady. It was absolutely the scariest situation I have ever witnessed.”
No more information was available late Monday.
