Investigators say they were called to the store on Academy Boulevard Wednesday morning because of a call related to domestic violence. The incident forced the store to be placed on lockdown.

Police said the suspect was not in the store when they arrived.

A woman who was at the store at the time says a woman announced shoppers could continue shopping, but would not be let out.

Those customers were eventually escorted out.

A number of schools nearby were placed on lockout during the investigation.
