A shell prematurely blew up on Saturday during a military event in California. Debris fell onto California Highway Patrol vehicles near a major freeway that had been ordered closed by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who had warned that the plans to fire shells over Interstate 5 could pose hazards for motorists.
Shell Detonated Over Interstate 5 During Marines Event, California Officials Say
The mishap, during an anniversary celebration for the Marine Corps attended by the vice president and defense secretary, underscores safety concerns that Gov. Gavin Newsom voiced before Saturday’s event at Camp Pendleton.
