From The Des Moines Register:
Quote:'...Six people, including Kreimeyer and the expectant mother, gathered Saturday and put gunpowderDes Moines Register:
inside a homemade stand that was welded to a metal base.
They put a piece of wood on top of the gunpowder and some powder of an unspecified color on top of that.
The stand had a hole drilled in the side for a fuse.
Finally, tape was wrapped over the top of the assembly. The idea was for the gunpowder to blast the powder
indicating a boy or girl out the top of the stand.
But the explosion instead sent metal shrapnel flying. Kreimeyer — who was standing with family members about
45 feet away — was struck and killed, the news release said. The debris continued flying for well over 100 more
yards, the sheriff's office said...'
