Buford Goodwill store evacuated, turns out to be false alarm

By AccessWDUN Staff
Goodwill of North Georgia in Buford was evacuated for a time on Labor Day afternoon after an employee found what they thought was a grenade in a donation bin.
 
Gwinnett County firefighters responded to the scene at Sardis Church Road just after 4:30 p.m., and cleared the building of 30 people who were inside the building.
 
The item turned out to be a non-hazardous training prop. It was turned over to the Gwinnett County Police Department.
 
The store was allowed to re-open about 30 minutes later.
