In something of an oopsie, the Marine Corps has peppered JD Vance‘s motorcade with potentially deadly shrapnel during their 250th anniversary celebrations. The New York Times reports that a 155-millimeter shell was “prematurely detonated” during the commemoration at Camp Pendleton in San Diego, with Vance’s motorcade being hit by metal debris.
Vance’s team quickly confirmed that a “mishap” had taken place, but no officers had been hurt and sought to play down the seriousness, with one saying it sounded “like pebbles hitting his motorcycle and the area around him.”
