GIRARD, Kan. A southeast Kansas sheriff says two men meant no harm when they showed up at a hospital with an explosive device. They just wanted to help doctors figure what caused one of them to be burned.
Wednesdays incident at Girard Medical Center brought out police, the Kansas Highway Patrol and even personnel from McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita.
KOAM-TV reports the injured man came to the hospital with burns apparently caused by an explosion. A search of his vehicle turned up the suspicious device.
Crawford County Sheriff Sandy Horton says the item proved to be an M22 Launch Simulator the men had bought earlier Wednesday. The injury happened when the men tried to dismantle it.
The device simulates anti-tank guided missile and rocket launchings. It contains magnesium, which causes smoke and a flash.
