Jeez. Terrible for the family. And potentially more live grenades out there.

That's really sad. Kid probably never knew what happened. Strange thing is I never heard this on the news. You think the ATF would have pushed for a mass blast (no pun intended) to the public like the commercials I remember in the early 70s during Vietnam about playing with ordnance brought back.

The idiot reporters want to get their facts right before naming the store: terms like 'may, 'could' and 'possibly' are not proof. The store either sold them or they didn't.

"A hand grenade that killed a Virginia teenager two days before Christmas may be one of several such explosives unknowingly sold".

"The grenade, which could have been purchased",

“Subsequent information provided to ATF indicates additional grenades were possibly sold from the same vendor in June 2020",
