The Elk County Sheriff’s Office gets an assist from McConnell Air Force Base yesterday. Deputies were called to a rural part of the county to investigate some possible old military shells. Once they confirmed the devices were explosives, they set up a perimeter around the scene and called McConnell Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit that responded to the scene. McConnell Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal Unit was able to remove the ordnances without incident and disposed of them.
The sheriff’s office says there was never any danger to Elk County residents
