AC PRESS WITH STRAFED SCHOOL STORY
close to me- and gives you a BAD feeling I can say:




Air Guard jet strafes Ocean County school

By BERNARD VAUGHAN Staff Writer, (609) 978-2012

LITTLE EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP - An Air National Guard F-16 fighter jet accidentally struck the Intermediate School with 25 rounds from an M61-A1 Vulcan cannon while on a training mission Wednesday night. The shots tore through the school's ceiling and struck several classrooms.

1. Here is some more coverage
A commander in the New Jersey National Guard says a fighter jet that accidentally fired on an elementary school actually meant to hit a target more than three miles away.

Colonel Brian Webster says he doesn't know what happened that led to the school getting shot up.

The F-16 fighter jet strafed the school in Little Egg Harbor with 25 rounds of rapid-fire ammunition late Wednesday night.

2. This was THREE miles off "target"
A few weeks ago, another jet dropped a bomb (live?) on the Appalachian Trail, near Harrisburg, PA. It was a mile off "target"

This raises my confidence level in the Armed Forces. Yep, it does.

Oh, yeah, one more question.

Why are there "targets" so close to the rest of us?
