(CNN) — The F-16 fighter jet that crashed into a California warehouse was carrying live ammunition, officials said Friday.
Col. Tom McNamara, the vice commander of the 452nd Air Mobility Wing at March Air Reserve Base in Perris, said the specifics of the armament package wouldn't be discussed due to security reasons.
An Air Force fact sheet on the F-16 states the armament could include a cannon with 500 rounds and missiles.
The package was secured and will be properly disposed of, McNamara said.
Base spokesman Reggie Varner said the F-16 had a hydraulic failure that led to the crash Thursday at a warehouse near the base.
