The New Hope Eagle Volunteer Fire Department was also on scene, as was an EMS unit.
The military hand grenade was some years old and was apparently obtained as a collectible or novelty.
Young men murdered, child molestors being hidden in basements, fake shooting/bomb scares in town, lady who hears voices telling her to burn down a church & Havanas, and now a live hand grenade found in a home. No one believes the stories I tell them about where I live.
And that is just the stuff that makes the papers!!
