Thankfully no one got hurt. I hope they find the culprit today! :mello:
A live hand grenade was found on a seat, wrapped in a paper napkin in a Duesseldorf, Germany movie theater (UCI Kinowelt) after 800 people had just watched TII on Thursday evening. It was found by a cleaning woman in the TII theater. No further details at this time and no arrests yet. Police say it was fully functional and would have exploded if the pin had been pulled. Thank God that nothing happened!!!!!! You can read articles in German about it below:

Latest update:
There were actually 50 people watching TII, but 800 overall got evacuated in the entire UCI Kinowelt cinemas. It was closed down for 4 hours while dogs and police looked for more explosives (nothing else found). Police searched an apartment, but haven't given any info about if they know anything. The grenade was a newer model and they think it must've been smuggled into Germany fairly recently.
