Area cleared after grenade found

Some children in Blair found a grenade while playing and brought it to their house Saturday, authorities said.

Their father contacted police about 6 p.m.

The area around the house was evacuated, and the Omaha Police Department's bomb squad responded.

It was not immediately known if the grenade was live and an actual threat, a Washington County 911 dispatcher said. — Susan Szalewski
