Motel or Artillery Cache?

Barstow, California Motel guests were evacuated when the manager of a Motel 6 in Barstow found a military-grade explosive in one of the rooms. The UXO was discovered while the room was being cleaned after guests complained of debris inside the room.

U.S. Army EOD at the Fort Irwin National Training Center were called, and the team determined the device was military-grade artillery ordnance and potentially live. The item was deemed too unstable to transport over a long distance, so it was detonated in the nearby open desert.

The Barstow Police Department cleared the area and controlled traffic while the device was destroyed. No injuries were reported.
