Children found playing with missile launcher

A shoulder-fired missile launcher has been handed in to New York police after a passer-by spotted children playing with it in the street.

The weapon - which did not contain a missile - was spotted by an unidentified pedestrian who took it to Brooklyn's 62nd Precinct station.

The NYPD Bomb Squad was called, determined the launcher was inoperable and safe, because once it is used, it cannot be reloaded and used again.

Detectives say a US soldier brought the weapon back from the war in Iraq and gave it to a friend, who ended up throwing it away with the rubbish, where the children found it.

Despite reassurances from the police, many residents in the area say they are worried about the discovery.

they used to be a dime a dozen.. same with the gernades with out cores.. just go to some hick town with a army surpluss store.. you can find all the cool stuff you ever wanted when you were a kid

It's nothing new, the news crew just saw a story and are milking it for all they can.

Oh my god.... that is scary as hell. Sure it is inoperable. But it is the premise.

myjah · 11-11-2003, 12:36 PM

my question is: why did a passer by find the kids playing with it? where were the kid's parents?

axelcat · 11-11-2003, 12:37 PM

Very interesting game to be playing with

JamesK · 11-11-2003, 12:37 PM
