A World War II-era practice bomb discovered near Freedom 7 Elementary School prompted a brief shelter-in-place as authorities secured the area. The device was found by a construction crew working at Ramp Road Park in Cocoa Beach. Deputies and bomb technicians confirmed it was a non-explosive training bomb used during military exercises. The 45th Explosive Ordnance Disposal team from Patrick Space Force Base removed the ordnance and transported it to Cape Canaveral Space Force Station for disposal. Authorities say similar finds are common in Brevard County due to military activity in the 1940s and 1950s.
