HAMILTON — A reported threat to shoot people inside a Hamilton Kroger store Sunday afternoon prompted an evacuation, but police say the situation was resolved without anyone being injured. The Hamilton Police Department responded between 3:30 and 4 p.m. to the Kroger at 1474 Main Street after receiving a report that someone was threatening to begin shooting inside the store. Officers immediately began clearing the store and searching for potential suspects while Kroger employees and additional officers evacuated customers. Assistant Chief of Police Brian Robinson said detectives, responding officers and Kroger staff worked together to identify the potential suspects. The individuals were stopped and interviewed by police. No weapons were found, Robinson said. The individuals have been trespassed from the Kroger and are no longer permitted at the store. Police said no shots were fired and no injuries were reported. “We are thankful no one was injured and the situation was resolved relatively quickly,” Robinson said. The investigation into the incident remains ongoing. Anyone with further information about the incident is asked to contact the Hamilton Police Department's main desk at 513-868-5811.
