Tupelo Police Department (TPD) has been notified that a pilot who is flying an airplane over Tupelo threatened to crash into the Walmart on West Main.
The pilot has made contact with E911 and made the threat to intentionally crash into the supermarket.
TPD says that they have worked with Walmart West and Dodges on West Main to evacuate the stores and disperse people as much as practical. TPD also has been able to begin talking with the pilot directly.
Citizens are asked to avoid that area until an all-clear is given. With the mobility of an airplane of that type, the danger zone is much larger than even Tupelo.
More information is to follow.
