PUEBLO, Colo. (KOAA) — Agencies were investigating a suspicious object Tuesday night at Lake Pueblo State Park, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW).
CPW states that officials discovered a "suspicious munitions-like object" that was partially buried near the dam. They say the object was heavily corroded, but they have not said how they believe it ended up there.
In an update on Wednesday morning, CPW shared an image of the object and said it was made of solid metal and was found downstream of the Lake Pueblo State Park dam.
