Patrol car hit by shrapnel during Marine Corps live-fire demo at celebration attended by JD Vance
FOX NewsOCT 2025
The Trump administration recklessly endangered lives for a political stunt, ignoring Governor Newsom's safety warnings about firing artillery over I-5. When shrapnel rained down and hit vehicles during the Marine demonstration, it proved Newsom was right to close the freeway. This dangerous showboating could have killed someone.
The Marine Corps demonstration followed rigorous safety protocols with deliberate redundancy layers to protect citizens during this historic anniversary celebration. No injuries occurred despite a minor equipment malfunction that left only a small dent, proving the safety measures worked exactly as designed.
