A grenade was thrown into a Philadelphia home early Thursday morning, prompting a response from the bomb squad and an evacuation of the residence. The incident occurred at approximately 2 a.m. on the 400 block of Courtland Street in the Feltonville neighborhood. The homeowner, who requested anonymity, said the grenade crashed through a downstairs window, waking everyone inside. The device did not detonate, and someone inside the home threw it back outside before authorities arrived. The bomb squad safely removed the grenade, which was later determined to be non-explosive and posed no danger to the public.
The homeowner, who has lived in the property for about two weeks, expressed shock and confusion over the incident. He stated that he had no idea who might have targeted his home or why. The family was evacuated until the device was recovered. The homeowner emphasized relief that no one was injured but remains unsettled by the event. Authorities have not yet identified a suspect or motive in the case.
