The officer tackled him, and the emergency room was evacuated. No injuries were reported.

Police spokesman James Tate said the 44-year-old man has a history of mental illness and a military background. The grenades were a type that might be used in training and much less powerful than combat grenades.

Police found two pipe bombs and two grenades in the man's house. He was hospitalized for evaluation."

Since it isn't all that much of a cakewalk getting one's hands on REAL grenades, I'll be keeping an eye out for further news. The Yellowstream Media cries wolf so often its simply hard to believe a bloody thing, and when they're not exaggerating they're making shit up.
