DURANGO, Colo. (AP) - July 29, 2010
A bicyclist riding in a multiple sclerosis fundraiser was bombarded by cannon blast in what authorities suspect was a teenage prank gone awry.

The La Plata County Sheriff's office say they plan to interview five teenagers with their parents next week about the cannon that was fired at the bicyclist Sunday during a multiple sclerosis fundraiser in Durango.

Authorities say the blast was similar to what is used at high school and college games to celebrate a touchdown. Sheriff's officials say a gauze-like material soaked in an unknown chemical caused an explosion near the legs of 37-year-old Ian Altman.

The cannon was about 3 feet long with a 2-inch barrel, Altman said. It was on two wheels with 6 feet of rope leading into a tent - presumably a pull rope to fire the cannon.

"They shot it right into my leg and into the bike," Altman said. "It was so loud. Everyone on the ride that day heard it. My ears were ringing. I looked around, and my thoughts were I rode over some kind of booby trap."

The explosion lodged small pieces in Altman's legs and arms. He finished the race, then later was briefly hospitalized with a fever and possible infection.
