Quantico, Va. — What was that loud noise that rattles windows and nerves heard about 2:20 p.m.? Officials can’t say for sure, however, there was no reported emergency in the area, like a fire, that could have caused the boom.
Quantico reported they were conducting explosive munitions training between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., but officials there have not responded to a request for comment following the boom.
Residents called the Prince William County emergency communications center to ask about the noise. Stafford officials said they did not receive any calls concerning hearing a large boom.
One commenter to PotomacLocal.com’s Facebook page noted her neighbor now has a crack in a wall that was not there prior to this afternoon boom.
