"Cooped-Up" Ordnance Removed by EOD

Wake County, North Carolina The 722nd Ordnance Company from Fort Bragg responded to a Wake County backyard after a family reported what they believed to be a military munition in their chicken coop.

EOD arrived after Raleigh Police notified them about the possible UXO. It was identified as a 30mm training round that Wake New Hope Fire Chief Ronny Mizell described as more than a foot long.

Mizell said it appeared to have been in the family's yard for a while. The munition was deemed safe to move and was taken to Fort Bragg for disposal.
