A 17-mile stretch of the I-5 freeway in Southern California was shut down on Saturday due to a military event involving live ammunition at Camp Pendleton.
The event was part of the celebration of the U.S. Marine Corps' 250th anniversary. According to the California Highway Patrol (CHP), the closure affected both sides of the freeway from Harbor Drive in Oceanside to Basilone Road near San Onofre.
The military event will involve "live ammunition being discharged by the federal government over the freeway."
