Airplane part falls onto NY home's front lawn

ROOSEVELT, N.Y. (AP) - An airplane part fell from the sky and landed on the front lawn of a home on Long Island, New York. Authorities are looking into how it happened.

Residents called police Thursday evening to report a suspicious object on the home's lawn in Roosevelt.

Officers found a 3-foot-by-4-foot cone-shaped piece of metal. Investigators determined it had fallen from a commercial airplane.

Police didn't immediately say which airline owned the part.

No one was injured.
