Florida Man Injured By Shrapnel From Dryer He Filled With Explosives and Shot With Rifle

OAK HILL, Fla. —A Port Orange man was hit by a large piece of shrapnel after he and his friends blew up an old clothes dryer.

he three friends, aged between 20 and 25, brought the old appliance for target practice to some woods on Maytown Road, near Interstate 95, in Oak Hill on Saturday afternoon.

The men filled the dryer with two pounds of explosive material and shot at it with a rifle.

A jagged piece of the dryer door hit one of the men in the stomach, causing a laceration that had to be treated at a hospital.
