Sioux Falls police enforce a perimeter around Dick's Sporting Goods at the Empire Mall

The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls was partially evacuated Friday afternoon after a suspected bomb threat.

Police were tipped off to a suspicious package between Dick’s Sporting Goods and Macy’s.

A bomb squad did not find any explosives, and shoppers were eventually let back into the mall.
