One "Live"ly Museum Exhibit

Troy, Ohio A military munition item though to be inert was donated to the Miami Valley Veterans Museum. However, museum personnel concerned that the item could potentially contain energetic material placed a call to the local bomb squad who responded and evacuated the museum and portions of the surrounding area.

Upon investigation, the military ordnance item was found to contain gunpowder. The bomb squad safely removed the item for disposal. The exact type of munition involved in the incident was not released. An investigation is underway to determine how the donator ended up with a live munition in the first place.
