SALINE COUNTY —The bomb squad from Fort Riley responded to report of a possible explosive device at a home in rural Saline County on Sunday.
A family was gathered at a home on East 6th Street in Gypsum to sort through items of a family member who had passed away, according to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan.
They discovered a hand grenade inside an ammunition box and the family called the sheriff’s office. The bomb squad safely disposed of the grenade. It contained no explosives but did have a live fuse attached.
