UTICA, NY -- Clean up is underway at the Price Chopper grocery store in South Utica after its sprinkler system flooded a portion of the store Monday afternoon.

According to a shopper in the store at the time of the incident, the fire alarm began going off, which activated the sprinkler system around 3 p.m.

All shoppers were evacuated, and the store has been shut down through the overnight as employees and crews work to clean up the several inches of water that accumulated in the front of the store, according to a store official.

The store plans to reopen at 8 a.m. Tuesday, said the official.

An investigating into what caused the alarm and sprinklers to go off is ongoing.
