Bomb Squad on 30th: Shotput Defused


From an anonymous tip: "I just asked an officer who told me a woman found what she thought was a cannonball in her house... turned out to be a shotput."

Update from 9/18 SFPD Blotter:
Ingleside Officers arrived at a home where a resident wished to turn over a suspected explosive device. Proper steps were taken to ensure neighborhood safety and fortunately, it was discovered the item was not what it was thought to have been.

  3. Wait a sec. Aren't they the same thing? A cannonball is just a round hunk of metal that gets propelled out of the cannon with gunpowder!

  6. How is that remotely possible? I thought the shotput died with the fall of the Berlin wall. Am I missing something?
