Possible Firework Goes Off Outside Montgomery Co. Police Headquarters

GAITHERSBURG, Md. (AP) -- Montgomery County police say a possible firework has gone off outside the public safety headquarters in Gaithersburg.

Police say the low-grade explosive went off in the parking lot around 11:10 a.m. Tuesday.
