The Clarksville Police Department responded Sunday to a report of a suspicious package found inside the Walmart Neighborhood Market on Tiny Town Road.

Police say a 911 call came in about the package at the store, located at 408 Tiny Town Road, prompting Walmart management to evacuate everyone inside as a precaution. Officers have blocked off the entrance and are asking the public to avoid the area while they investigate.

No additional details about the package have been released, and it is unclear how long the store will remain closed.

Clarksville Police said an update will be provided once more information becomes available.
