Ridgewood NJ, A 10 year old boy who lives in the 400 block of Oxford Court in Ridgewood found a round of live ammunition lying in the street while walking to school this morning.
Ridgewood Police Department Patrol Officer Patrick Elwood was dispatched to the boy’s home this afternoon after the child’s mother called police to report that her son had come home from school with the ammunition still in his possession.  According to Officer Elwood, the ammunition appears to be a single round of buckshot.  Acting on information provided by the youth, Officer Elwood responded to a home located in the 400 block of nearby Bogert Avenue where the ammunition was reportedly found.  The home’s owner had moved over the weekend and it is  believed the ammunition may have fallen out of a box/carton during the move.  The incident remains under investigation.

Rumor is the live ammo was found in front of a home owned by a former councilman?
So?
“The home’s owner had moved over the weekend and it is believed the ammunition may have fallen out of a box/carton during the move”
Non-story.
Non-story? Are you some kind of idiot? What if your kid picked this up???
No Problem.
Some kids are not stupid enough to hit it with a hammer or eat it.
Some kids can handle themselves without constant supervision.
What would your kid with a shell to make it a life threatening danger?
Some people see danger in every daily event. It is a wonder you ever leave your house. You do go out into the world from time to time, don’t you?
well thank god no one got hurt. that’s all that maters. things do happen when you are moving.
Homeland Security must be loosening up its hold on Ammo.
NAZI JERSEY … PUT UP THE ROAD BLOCKS …SHUT DOWN THE AIR PORTS…MY SON WOULDN’T HAVE EVEN TOUCHED IT…BECA– USE HE WAS TAUGHT ABOUT SUCH THINGS….SO KEEP SECRETS FROM YOUR CHILD SO THEIR IGNORENCE ONE DAY BECOMES THEIR DESTRUCTION…
If that shell got run over by a car it could have gone off that would be trouble
That shell would not have gone off if run over by a car…Come on now!
if the primer in the shell was squeezed it would go off.
It would not have gone off from a tire
