FLINT (WKZO) -- It took the bomb squad, but it's safe outside a Flint home again.  Police were called to a home late Sunday afternoon on a report of a military-style mortar in a bush.

Walter Samson said he had noticed it a few days ago under a bush, but didn't know what it was.  Police evacuated four homes as they removed the item, which was about a foot long and three inches around.
