MONROE, La. (KNOE) - Police say a man is dead following what is believed to be an accident involving fireworks.

According to Monroe PD, it happened on July 2, 2020, in the 4200 block of Elm Street.

Police say Damorrious Hollins was in the parking lot of Roy Neal Shelling School when he set off a mortar round while holding the tube near his left leg. A witness told MPD the mortar exploded on his leg. Police say Hollins suffered an injury to his left hip area. The victim was transported to St. Francis Medical Center, where he died.

Police say it became evident through the victim’s injury, evidence at the scene, and a witness statement that the victim died as a result of a fireworks accident.

Police say the incident happened near security cameras and they hope to get additional evidence from the video and post to Worldstar.

No one else was injured in the incident.

Mortars don’t play. Wouldn’t surprise me if these idiot protesters don’t start using them more as weapons.

There is a lack of intelligence within the Monroe city limits.

I had a friend one time that was following my lead and shooting Morter Shells out of the tube while holding it. I must have done it 5 times, no problems. He does it once and it’s two explosives, one to launch then the shell explodes off in the distance, right? Well, the first one just kinda fizzled and we sat there looking at each other and then we started running, me him and my girlfriend at the time, all in different direction. But he didn’t drop the tube. It exploded in his hand and burned the shite out of him. We brought him to the hospital and they couldn’t do much but put cream on it and tell him to hold an ice pack for a few days. It’s blistered up like one huge blister in the palm of his hand, like he was holding a silicone implant, I am not exaggerating at all. Craziness.

When I was a smaller kid we would walk around the neighborhood and shoot bottle rockets, black cats, and jumping jacks. We’re casually walking and one friend throws a jumping jack at the others feet, and it lands right in the top of his untied high top sneaker. It went offf and he jumped around with his foot basically burning in three bright colors. It must have been July because I remember him jumping in the ditch but the ditch was dry as a bone. He had to go to the hospital too, same treatment as above.

Funny looking back on it. Especially the mortal shell because we were all blasted out of our minds.

This really is the case. There are some good people here in the right areas (and I’m not talking black or white, both) but there are some really stupid fricks in this town. I hate it. August 1st, I’ll be a Texan and I fear I waited too long.

That must’ve been a nightmare.
