Artillery shell detonates over California highway, striking patrol car

"The CHP has filed an internal report on the incident, with a recommendation to conduct an additional after-action review into the planning, communication and coordination between federal, state and local governments around the event on Saturday, October 18, to strengthen protocols for future demonstrations and training events near public roadways," it said. "This is what the White House thought was fine to fly over civilians on a major freeway," the California governor's press office said in its own statement on X, which included a picture of a soldier carrying the large munition on his shoulder. The Marine display came the same day that millions took to the streets from coast to coast in the United States to protest the hardline policies of the Trump administration, which have included the dismantling of diversity and equity programs.
