Helicopter Drops Ammunition
Onslow - 2/28/2007
At approximately, 3 p.m. Wednesday, Onslow County Emergency Services and the Homeland Security Department were advised by a Marine Corps Helicopter Squadron HMM-261 duty officer that a helicopter returning to base had accidentally dropped a belt of ammunition somewhere between the Hunters Creek Housing Complex and Camp Lejeune.
Onslow County Schools immediately warned teachers and students in the areas affected.
The school system also issued an emergency automated phone advisory to all parents living in Hunters Creek and White Oak school districts.
That is approximately 6,000 families.
Anyone who finds ammunition should leave it in its place and call 911 immediately.
