LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police say a feud between neighbors in a Lincoln apartment building led one of them to toss a homemade explosive into the hallway, blasting a hole in the floor and shattering windows.

Police say officers were called to the apartment building Monday morning for reports of gunfire. What they found instead were blown-out windows, smoke, and an 18-inch-deep hole blown into the hallway floor.

Officer Erin Spilker tells the Lincoln Journal Star that it wasn't clear who threw the explosive, which was equivalent to a quarter stick of dynamite.

No one was injured in the blast, and police continue to investigate.
