KILGORE, Texas — The Kilgore Police Dept. is alerting citizens of possible Tannerite explosions outside the city limits.

Officials say they were notified citizens near the S. Loop in Rusk County "may hear loud booms from planned Tannerite/firearm activities over the next couple of hours."

The KPD says the explosions are being done legally, and notice has been made to help inform the citizens of Kilgore to ease some of the questions and calls coming in to the dispatch center. 

"This is similar to the loud explosive noises that were heard recently and reported to dispatch," the KPD said.
