A few months after April 19th 1995 (OKC Bombing) I had to make a delivery to the Earl Cabal Federal building in Dallas (Texas y'all).

Below ground loading dock, Kelly Door.

I went to security and told them not to freak, I also had empty, blue barrels on the truck for another customer.

From the article at your link:

It was an “inert training round,” Naval Criminal Investigative Service spokesman Jeff Houston said in an email.

M-79 rounds are some of the worst. They are small, so the fuses don't have much room for safeties.

Lots of duds with M-79s, and lots of them go off with a little jostling.

They are also meant to produce lots of casualties, so they are deadly for their size.

We were there late 70s. Husband was a pearl sub base. We try to go back when we can. Our middle son was born at tripler. It’s changed so much. Hale Koa hotel had armed mp when we went in February. Crime is bad.
