MCAS Miramar Bomb Disposal safely removed a live munition from a home in Point Loma Saturday afternoon.
The 105-millimeter artillery smoke round-bomb was found while the house, at the corner of Willow and Canon, was being remodeled.
The owners found the bomb underneath a bed and after some research called the bomb squad.
The bomb contains smoke canisters, which emit a colored smoke upon ejection. They are used for screening, spotting or signaling purposes.
They can explode and cause serious injuries to people nearby, which is why the bomb disposal was very careful as they removed it from the home.
Neighbors were asked to leave their homes and the streets were closed off during the disposal. The whole process took about three hours.
It is now determined to be safe in the area, according to San Diego Fire.
