Rolling bullets on plane in Sacramento still a puzzle.

By Cathy Locke -- clocke@sacbee.com

How loose bullets ended up on a Sacramento-bound airline flight earlier this week remains a mystery.

Passengers who arrived in Sacramento on a US Airways flight Tuesday were escorted off the plane by security personnel after being told that bullets had been found on the aircraft.

Passenger Elisabeth Turner, a former Sacramento resident now living in New York City, considered the incident bizarre at the time. But Turner, who is visiting family in Elk Grove for the holidays, found it more alarming following news reports that a passenger set off an explosive device aboard a Northwest Airlines flight as it prepared to land in Detroit on Christmas Day.

Turner said she boarded US Airways Flight 365 in Phoenix on Tuesday. When the plane pulled up to the gate in Sacramento, she said, passengers were asked to remain seated because of a security breach. A Sacramento County sheriff's deputy came on board and explained that two bullet casings had been found on the plane.
