In a significant operation to neutralize potential historical threats, the Houston Police Department’s bomb squad successfully detonated an unexploded World War I-era device found in Memorial Park on Monday. The discovery of this ordnance in a wooded section of the park prompted a swift and strategic response from law enforcement to ensure public safety.

The bomb squad was dispatched following the identification of the object, which was initially reported via social media by Houston police shortly before 3 p.m. The public was informed about the situation, with the discovery described as an “unexploded WWI-era ordnance.” Authorities quickly organized a controlled detonation, which was carried out effectively, with confirmation from the Houston Police Department that there was “no threat to the public.”

Details regarding the precise nature, condition, and origin of the ordnance have not yet been disclosed by officials. However, law enforcement has advised the public to continue avoiding the area as investigative and safety operations are ongoing.

Memorial Park holds a significant place in military history, having once been the location of Camp Logan, a military training camp for U.S. troops during World War I. From 1917 to 1919, the camp saw thousands of soldiers pass through, leaving behind a legacy that includes the occasional discovery of military artifacts.

While the incident has sparked concern and curiosity, it also underscores the park’s historical importance and the remnants of its past that can still pose challenges today. The Houston Police Department continues to monitor the area, ensuring that the public and environment remain secure while they complete their work.
