Mystery Grenade Discovered In 13 Year Old’s Bedroom

Austin Reamer, a 13 year old boy in Oregon, discovered the modified military grenade in his bedroom. The teenage boy found the explosive device wedged between the rafters in his home’s basement which doubles as his bedroom.

Police in Oregon are currently investigating how the military hardware ended up in the boy’s living quarters.

Bomb squad technicians were sent in to safely remove the dangerous device from the boy’s residence as the bomb squad is tasked with ensuring that hazardous explosive devices are rendered safe and properly disposed of.

The bomb squad closed down sections of the neighborhood in order to ensure the safety of all residents in close proximity to where the grenade was discovered.

The quiet Portland suburb of Milwaukie, Oregon is an otherwise ordinary city which is perhaps most widely known as the birthplace of the Bing cherry. Bing cherries are sweet heart-shaped cherries which maintain a blackish-red pigment.

There exist those who believe that Milwaukie’s name was derived from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and that the misspelling was retained in order to differentiate the two cities while preventing post office confusion.

Milwaukie’s 2010 census data shows that the city, now a suburb of Portland, had a population of 20,291.

Grenades are small bombs which can either be thrown by hand or launched mechanically utilizing a grenade launcher which enhances accuracy and range.

It’s one thing to find some change or your television remote in the couch cushions, but it’s an entirely different story when it’s a grenade in your rafters! How do you think this mysterious grenade wound up in Austin Reamer’s bedroom?
