World War II artillery shell found in Sequatchie County

CHATTANOOGA (WDEF) – It wasn’t your normal 911 call in Sequatchie County.

On Wednesday, a resident calling saying he had found an old artillery shell in the county.

Detectives responded and discovered the un-exploded round was a 75MM shell from World War II.

So they moved it to a vacant field and waited for the Chattanooga Bomb Squad.

The bomb squad technicians then blew it up, safely.

No one was hurt.

You can skip ahead to around 6:00 minutes to just watch it go boom.
