HAMPTON, Va. – A Hampton resident found an inert training round in their attic while moving into their home on St. Paul Court.

The call came in around 1 p.m. on Tuesday.

A Langley Air Force EOD squad truck responded to the scene, which is standard procedure.

“The Hampton Division of Fire and Rescue loves our rich military history here in Hampton and the surrounding jurisdictions.

Fortunately, the ordnance was determined to be a training round with no explosive charge.
