A woman cleaning out a vacant home in the city of Spartanburg on Friday found what was believed to be a World War II-era grenade in a box in the attic.

Janice Doyle said her parents built the home at 101 Pinedale Court in 1961. It's been vacant since Doyle's mother died five years ago.

Doyle, friends and neighbors from Columbia were cleaning out the home Friday to sell it. As they were removing boxes from the attic, they found the grenade.

"I wasn't really nervous about it. I picked it up, and I saw how heavy it was. One of my friends said we better call the police," Doyle said. "And then God and everybody showed up."

Police, firefighters and the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office bomb squad responded shortly after the call came in at 12:15 p.m.
