Errant Shell out of Camp Ripley

(AP) Artillery firing at Camp Ripley has temporarily been suspended after a 102-pound shell landed on the property of Rich and Kathy Nelson in rural Pillager. The Nelsons were not home at the time, but a construction crew installing cabinets was taking a break when the shell flew over the garage. A defense company, BAE Systems, was testing inert rounds that day. One of the eight rounds flew about 800 meters off Camp Ripley property onto the Nelson's property. The Camp has added a larger buffer to companies testing weapons, and is changing the direction that weapons are shot.
