Chandler police: Store evacuated because of false alarm

CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) — A Chandler Police Department spokesman says a J.C. Penny Co. store was evacuated Saturday afternoon because of a security concern that turned out to be a false alarm.
Detective Seth Tyler says nothing suspicious was found but that it was good that an off-duty Maricopa County sheriff’s deputy called 911 to report overhearing a verbal exchange between store employees about a possible shooter.
Tyler says the store reopened after being checked by police.
