At the request of Graymoor-Devondale Police, LMPD’s Bomb Squad responded to the scene about 6 p.m. and located what appeared to be ordinance and a grenade, Ruoff said. The bomb squad removed and safely disposed of the items, she said

Roads in that area were shut down out of an abundance of caution for public safety, Ruoff said.
