WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP (AP) — Walmart officials are reviewing security tapes after an announcement was made for "all black people" to leave a southern New Jersey store.
Shortly before 7 p.m. Sunday, a male voice came over the public-address system at the Route 42 store in Washington Township and calmly announced: "Attention Walmart customers: All black people leave the store now."
Management later apologized.
Washington Township police and the Gloucester County Prosecutor's Office are investigating the incident as a possible bias crime.
Walmart spokeswoman Ashley Hardie says the incident was "unacceptable." The retailer is looking to prevent it from happening in the future.
