Rare live-fire mishap over Camp Pendleton rains shrapnel on I-5 during Marine celebration

A Marine Corps investigation found a rare one-in-a-million malfunction during a October live-fire demonstration at Camp Pendleton caused an M795 round to detonate prematurely at about 1,480 feet, sending shrapnel onto Interstate 5 and striking a CHP patrol car and motorcycle; no injuries were reported.
