Rocket launcher turned in at city gun buyback program
Baltimore police got quite a shock Monday during a gun buyback program.
Not only did they collect more than 500 weapons, according to WBAL-TV, one of the weapons was a rocket launcher.
The city was buying back the weapons for between $25 and $500, WBAL reported, but it's unclear how much they paid for the rocket launcher.
