Bomb disposal experts detonated a World War II explosive near Paris after evacuating over 1,000 residents due to safety concerns.
The CHP said that the shrapnel was from an explosive ordnance that was fired over Interstate 5 and "detonated overhead prematurely, striking and damaging a CHP patrol vehicle." The shrapnel fell on the vehicle in an area where CHP officers were gathered to close traffic along Interstate 5 in northern San Diego County, which cuts through Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton.
