A pilot who police said threatened to crash a small plane into a Walmart store in Tupelo, Mississippi on Saturday morning is still in the air.

A government source familiar with the situation says the plane is flying over the Holly Springs National Forest. Tupelo police are no longer in communication with the pilot, the source said.

“At this time the situation is ongoing, all emergency responders in our area are on standby,” Tupelo Police said in a news release Saturday morning. “With the maneuverability of an aircraft of that type, the danger zone is much larger than Tupelo.”

The Tupelo Walmart store is “currently closed and evacuated,” said Charles Crowson, director of the Walmart Press Office.

“We are working closely with local investigators and are referring questions to law enforcement,” he added.
