explosion killed three Los Angeles County sheriff\u2019s detectives<\/a> \u2014 the deadliest incident for the Sheriff\u2019s Department in more than 150 years. The three agency veterans who were killed were Dets. Joshua Kelley-Eklund, Victor Lemus and William Osborn.<\/p>\nOn Saturday, according to the LAPD, two people came into the Pacoima station at 2:30 p.m. and said they had been cleaning out the home of a family member who recently died when they found what they believed were explosives.<\/p>\n
The department\u2019s bomb squad used a robot to take images of the plastic box the couple had brought, which had \u201cseveral military ordnances inside.\u201d <\/p>\n
After deeming them safe to transfer, the bomb squad moved them to a storage facility for the U.S. military to collect.<\/p>\n
In the latest twist in the case in which the sheriff\u2019s detectives were killed, one of the grenades found before the explosion is missing, authorities said Friday. <\/p>\n
Two hand grenades were discovered in a Santa Monica town home complex \u2014 one of them exploded with deadly results, and the other one \u201cis unaccounted for at this time,\u201d<\/a> Sheriff Robert Luna said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A couple brought military explosive devices into a Los Angeles Police Department station Saturday afternoon in an attempt…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":98193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[64242,33137,1582,276,10756,3040,52809,21885,61471,8141,61558,2961,64239,224,5337,64240,63569,64241,12498,61475],"class_list":{"0":"post-98192","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-agency-veteran","9":"tag-bomb-squad","10":"tag-ca","11":"tag-california","12":"tag-couple","13":"tag-department","14":"tag-detective","15":"tag-explosion","16":"tag-grenade","17":"tag-incident","18":"tag-joshua-kelley-eklund","19":"tag-la","20":"tag-lapd-station","21":"tag-los-angeles","22":"tag-losangeles","23":"tag-military-ordnance","24":"tag-nearby-home","25":"tag-pacoima-station","26":"tag-sheriff","27":"tag-victor-lemus"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114928382400695048","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=98192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/98192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/98193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=98192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=98192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=98192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
