Woman drops off old mortar round at Texas recycling site
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas (AP) — A woman recycling some items she found on her South Texas property included what turned out to be a piece of old military explosives.
Corpus Christi police say a bomb squad was dispatched and the mortar round was safely destroyed. Nobody was hurt.
Police say the 62-year-old woman apparently did not know that the item she picked up and transported Monday was an old mortar round. Police do not believe the woman knew the piece was potentially explosive.
She told authorities that she found the item while cleaning her property in Sandia, about 30 miles northwest of Corpus Christi.
Employees at the recycling center recognized the mortar round, cleared out the place and called bomb experts.
Man stung 100s of times in bee attack at Utah baseball game
ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) — A bee attack during a baseball game in St. George forced players and spectators to flee and sent one man to the hospital.
St. George Fire Capt. Robert Hooper says the man was stung between 200 and 300 times late Friday morning at Elk's Field.
But he told the Deseret News the man didn't exhibit any signs of a severe reaction, and was alert and talking to emergency responders. His name wasn't immediately released.
Several other people were treated for stings at the scene.
Lone Peak High School baseball coach Matt Bezzant told The Spectrum newspaper of St. George that the bees came from a dugout and players were chased by as many as 70 bees at one point.
Fire crews doused the dugout area with a chemical foam to combat the bees.
