CLOVER, S.C. — An Army explosives unit from Fort Bragg assisted Charlotte emergency officials with safely disarming what was a live anti-aircraft round found at a house under renovation.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department was alerted about the round and teamed up with the Charlotte Fire Department and the Army explosives unit to confiscate and deactivate it.
The anti-aircraft ammunition was originally found in Clover, South Carolina. It was transported to Pineville, North Carolina, where emergency personnel were notified.
At this time, it's not known where the anti-aircraft round originated from or how old the anti-aircraft round is.
