It’s not just Al Capone who packed a rod in his fiddle box.

A woman walking in the woods near the Boathouse at Fletcher’s Cove on Wednesday found a violin case containing at least one firearm, and police said they discovered other weapons strewn along the C&O Canal.

At least a dozen police officers descended on the area near the boathouse late Wednesday morning. Authorities called in an explosive ordnance disposal unit, or bomb squad, to help with the search as additional weapons were found.

    Are they certain it wasn’t just a Kalashnikov violin?

    That violin can play only Stockhausen.
