did you lose something this morning?
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Several homes have been evacuated in northwest Washington, D.C., after a grenade was found at a park.
U.S. Park Police spokesman Sgt. Robert Lachance says a maintenance worker found the explosive Wednesday morning at Rock Creek Park. He says authorities determined it's a grenade and a police bomb squad is working to remove it.
Some nearby homes have been evacuated as a precaution, but Lachance didn't know exactly how many.
Police temporarily closed 16th Street, a busy commuter route, and two side streets.
