Shelby County, Al.
A hand grenade and two other unspecified explosive devices were removed from an abandoned storage facility today in the 1200 block of Old Highway 280 with the help of the Hoover Police Department's bomb squad, the Shelby County Sheriff's Office said.
Deputies responded to a call about 1:30 p.m. after an employee reported finding the items, the sheriff's office said.
The area, which had been secured by deputies, has been reopened to the public.
Sheriff Chris Curry thanked Hoover police officers for their assistance in what the sheriff's office described as making a "dangerous situation safe."
The sheriff's office said it is investigating the history of the explosive found.
