HUMBOLDT — A series of explosions north of Humboldt Tuesday morning proved to be nothing more than some loud target practice.
Humboldt Police Chief Shannon Moore said the shooters, who weren’t identified, were shooting at tannerite targets, which make a loud boom when they’re struck, but are otherwise harmless.
“With it being in the county, there was nothing illegal about it,” Moore said.
Several residents, as well as Humobldt officers, heard the explosions just north of Humboldt’s city limits.
The concussion was loud enough to rattle windows, one resident reported.
The Humboldt officers investigated the incident because Allen County sheriff’s deputies were tied up on another call, Moore said.
