Police: Shrapnel hits California patrol car escorting Vance at military event

Part of Vice President JD Vance's security detail was accidentally hit by an artillery shell during a military display marking the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton, California, police said Sunday.

The California Highway Patrol said no one was injured in Saturday's incident that occurred during a live-fire military demonstration at the base that's on the edge of San Diego County, which state Gov. Gavin Newsom called "reckless," but a CHP vehicle was damaged.

The incident happened in the area where CHP officers were supporting a traffic break along I-5 near Camp Pendleton during a U.S. Marine Corps live-fire training demonstration over the freeway, and where the CHP had elected to stop traffic during the live-fire exercise, per a CHP statement.

Metal shrapnel from explosive ordnance fired over the highway "detonated overhead prematurely, striking and damaging" according to the CHP.

"CHP personnel immediately notified the Marine Corps at the scene, who then cancelled firing additional live ordnance over the freeway, and the area was swept for further evaluation."

So Trump's reckless attempt to distract from the No Kings Protest and continue his bickering with Newsom and California led to this, and I doubt we'll hear a peep from him apologising for it.

People's lives really don't matter to him.

Celebrating the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps is 'Trump's reckless attempt to distract'.

You are a totally deranged mong, As if the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps wouldnt have been celebrated if Kamale had been prez.

You lefty mongs are totally off your empty, gammon heads.

Governor Newsom opposed this stunt, saying it was dangerous. Looks like he was right. Doing live fire over an interstate highway is stupidity personified. This ridiculous stunt should never have been allowed.

It's how Trump insisted they do it, putting civilian lives at risk against the advice of the state's Governor, that turned this into a stunt from a harmless patriotic celebration.

Please tell me you're not so deep in the MAGA cult that you can't even see this..!?
