Sat Jul 26 03:40:35 UTC 2025: ## Missing Grenade Spurs Urgent Search After L.A. Training Facility Explosion Kills Three Deputies
**Los Angeles – July 26, 2025, 09:10 AM IST** – A desperate search is underway in Los Angeles for a missing grenade following a devastating explosion at the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s Biscailuz Centre Academy training facility on July 18th. The blast claimed the lives of three veteran sheriff’s deputies assigned to the arson and explosives team.
Sheriff Robert Luna revealed on Friday that the missing grenade was one of two brought to the facility after being taken into custody. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is leading the investigation into the incident, which occurred while the deputies were reportedly working on the devices.
“One of the grenades detonated, and the other is unaccounted for,” Luna stated. He emphasized the extensive search efforts undertaken by authorities, including X-raying special enforcement bureau vehicles, scouring the blast area, and thoroughly examining all accessible spaces, including offices and the gym.
“You get the drift. We have looked at everything out there that we possibly could,” Luna said, assuring the public that the area has been completely sealed off, preventing any civilian access.
The incident has raised serious questions about safety protocols and the handling of explosive devices within the Sheriff’s Department. The ATF investigation is ongoing.
