Artillery shell fired in gun show travels three miles before striking resident's home in Oklahoma

http://theimmoralminority.blogspot.com/2014/06/artillery-shell-fired-in-gun-show.html?spref=tw



A homeowner in Wyandotte, Oklahoma is awaiting damage assessments after an artillery shell entered his home. It was fired at the Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show on Saturday, around 3 miles a way.

Homeowner Gene Kelley could not fathom what he found after hearing a large crash inside his home. "It's unbelievable," Kelley said. "Unless you were here to see it or see the pictures I've got, you would not believe how huge this thing is."

A 105 howitzer artillery shell, 14 and a half inches long and 3 and a half inches across, was lying on his bedroom floor.

It entered from the outside wall, hit the ceiling, and damaged another wall, all while he and his wife were home.
