Grenade linked to explosion that killed 3 deputies is missing, officials say

Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna announced Friday that one of two grenades found in a Santa Monica townhome complex prior to an explosion that killed three deputies is currently missing.

The day before the explosion, members of the sheriff’s department’s Arson and Explosives Detail assisted Santa Monica police after a resident reported finding “two grenade-like devices” in a storage unit in an underground garage. Luna said the devices were believed to be “inert” after an x-ray but were still transported to the Biscailuz Center Training Academy to be “destroyed and rendered safe.”
