An urban legend about a gang initiation at Wal-Mart that included a killing spree was being spread once again in Salt Lake County on Thursday. But law enforcers wanted to assure the public that there was no truth behind the myth. ... But enough people have received the rumor through text messages that the sheriff's office was forced to spend much of Thursday morning answering phone calls from concerned residents. The text tells people, "Do not go to any Wal-Mart tonight. Gang initiation to shoot three women tonight. Not sure which Wal-Mart, so please pass this on."
