We’re Professionals A maintenance man at the Gadsden (N.M.) Middle School was naturally fairly concerned when he found a grenade in the building. Well, maybe more inquisitive than concerned: “he pulled the [pin] because he was curious what would happen,” a police investigator says. The grenade turned out to be a tear gas canister, and it immediately ignited and contaminated the entire building. Maintenance man Peter Flores was hospitalized with minor injuries. School officials say it’s a “big mystery” where the gas bomb came from. No students were in the building during the incident. (Las Cruces Sun-News) Available in This is True: Book Collection Vol. 11
