Man Finds Artillery Projectile During Garage Clean Out

Colorado Springs, Colorado A man clearing out an old garage came across a large artillery projectile among the collection of material in storage. The alarmed man called the police who responded with bomb technicians from the Colorado Springs Police Department. The bomb technicians called Fort Carson EOD for support after verifying that the round was a military munition. EOD responded and identified the round as a "live" 152mm projectile. Reportedly, the round was purchased at an Army surplus store nearly 35 years ago from a previous tenet. The round identified as "live", had not been fired. The exact type of 152mm projectile was not reported. EOD safely removed the round from the garage and properly disposed of it.
