Tupelo police continue to monitor an airplane flying over Tupelo after “the pilot made contact with E911 and threatened to intentionally crash into Walmart on West Main Street.
The Tupelo Police Department has worked with Walmart and nearby the Dodge’s convenience store to evacuate customers and disperse those people as practically as possible. TPD has also been in talking directly with the pilot.
According to law enforcement, the plane is believed to be stolen.”
The latest update said that law enforcement told the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal shortly after 8 a.m. that the plane had left the airspace around Tupelo and was flying near a Toyota manufacturing plant in nearby Blue Springs.
