AUTHORITIES RESPOND TO POSSIBLE BOMB IN TREE – A surprising discovery was made Sunday afternoon by a person cutting down a tree north of Boonsville. Wise County Fire Marshal Jeff Doughty said a MK23 marker round was found inside a tree. “It was what [the military] used when dropping munitions,” Doughty said. “It has a 12 gauge shotgun round and pops smoke. It looks like a live round.”
