Search of Silver Lake home turns up inert grenade

9:14 PM | December 19, 2008

Los Angeles Police Department officers shut down a two-square-block area of Silver Lake on Friday after a grenade was found at a suspect’s home.

The incident began about 5:30 p.m. when police received a call reporting that a man in his 20s was walking around with a gun in the 2300 block of Tracy Terrace, said police spokesman Jason Lee. The man was taken into custody.

A search of his nearby home turned up the grenade. The streets were closed while bomb squad investigators inspected the grenade, which they determined was inert. The neighboring streets were reopened about 9 p.m.

I live about 2 houses down and couldn't get into my neighborhood during that time. The police told me that my roommates would have been evacuated if they were close by. When I called them they were home and didn't know anything other than that there was a helicopter overhead. Now that I see this report I realize that we are very close. I know the police work extremely hard, but it's really scary that my roommates could have walked outside at any point during this event.

So what? An inert grenade is a paperweight, available for a few
bucks in the mail.

Yawn.

It's a disgrace that L.A. taxpayers have to pay security costs...When an ordinary mortal dies, his/her estate or heirs have to pay for cops to lead the motorcade to the cemetery, direct traffic, etc.
