Fire officials recovered and rendered safe several suspicious bottles in Fort Worth early Saturday morning.
Police were originally called to the 5900 block of Shadydell Drive at around 4 a.m. when several suspicious bottles with blue liquid (an acidic drain cleaner) and tightly rolled foil inside were found along the street in front of residential yards.
A police officer photographed the bottles and officials determined the best way to render the pressurized bottles safe was to shoot them with a pellet gun.
There were no reports of injuries or property damage. Investigators are searching for any details or leads in this incident.
Editor's Note: Initial reports that the bottles were detonated were not accurate. We regret the error.
