OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A Nebraska bomb squad has disposed of a decades-old mortar shell bequeathed by a recently deceased World War II veteran.
Omaha police were contacted Thursday by someone who was gifted the World War II explosive and wondered if it was dangerous. The caller said the veteran was a relative. The mortar shell was stored in an apartment garage.
Police say the bomb squad inspected, secured and disposed of the 60 mm shell.
No injuries were reported.
