"The incident happened in the area where CHP officers were supporting a traffic break along I-5 near Camp Pendleton during a U.S. Marine Corps live-fire training demonstration over the freeway, and where the CHP had elected to stop traffic during the live-fire exercise, per a CHP statement. Metal shrapnel from explosive ordnance fired over the highway "detonated overhead prematurely, striking and damaging" according to the CHP."
"Officials closed a 17-mile stretch of the highway for hours during Saturday's "Sea To Shore" amphibious assault demonstration, which halted train service. Explosions shook the beach and artillery shells were fired over I-5. The live-fire military demonstration at Camp Pendleton Marines Corps Base, on the edge of San Diego County, occurred as "No Kings" protests were taking place in San Diego. About 35 reportedly protesters gathered outside the main gate at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside."
