National Weather Service receives 46,000 rounds of hollow point (JHP) bullets, according to Fed Ops website.
Delivery of 16,000 is made to cities such as Ellsworth, Maine, and New Bedford, Mass. As additional 6,000 rounds of S&W JHP will be sent to Wall, New Jersey, with another 24,000 rounds of the same bullets heading to the weather station in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Opps, there was a mistake claims NOAA spokesman Scott Smullen, a clerical error, according to The Washington Post.
Now, who were they really intended for?
Sidewalks Chalk 
I know DHS got a shipment last year. If they didn’t order them who did?
Really,
Due to a clerical error in the federal business vendor process, a solicitation for ammunition and targets for the NOAA Fisheries Office of Law Enforcement mistakenly identified NOAA’s National Weather Service as the requesting office. The error is being fixed and will soon appear correctly in the electronic federal bidding system. The ammunition is standard issue for many law enforcement agencies and it will be used by 63 NOAA enforcement agents in their twice annual target qualifications and training.
