AURORA — The Aurora Police Department is investigating a bomb threat at a King Soopers off S. Peoria Street, and the shopping center has been evacuated. A shelter-in-place order was issued for residents in the area as well.
As of 5 p.m., it was not yet clear if police had found anything to suggest a legitimate threat, but Aurora police said the bomb squad is at the scene.
The King Soopers is located at 3050 S. Peoria St. in Aurora, just north of Cherry Creek Reservoir. The store, as well as the rest of the shopping center and parking lot, have been evacuated as a precaution.
A shelter-in-place order was issued around 5 p.m. for residents who live along E. Cornell Avenue to E. Dartmouth Avenue, and S. Peoria Street to I-225. The order is centered on a condo complex at E. Dartmouth Avenue and S. Peoria Street, police said.
