There was no shooting at Walmart, and the woman’s husband was alive and well.
Authorities in North Carolina are investigating after a man posing as a law enforcement officer came to a woman’s home and told her her husband had been killed in a shooting at the “Madison Walmart.”
The woman called Rockingham County deputies at about 11:30 a.m. on Thursday to report the incident. She said the man referred to her husband by name and was driving silver Dodge Charger marked like a highway patrol vehicle.
The man left quickly, she said, after she called a friend and told him the friend was coming over. After he left, she called her husband and learned he was alive and well.
She described the imposter as in his late 30s or early 40s, about 6 feet 3 inches tall with a medium build and light-colored hair and was dressed in what appeared to be a law enforcement uniform.
Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or call Rockingham County Crime Stoppers at 336-349-9683.
