Whoops

A little payback for Jersey going to Kerry, I guess...

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A National Guard F-16 fighter plane mistakenly fired off 25 rounds of ammunition at the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School in South New Jersey on Wednesday night.

The pilot was meant to fire the rounds some 3 1/2 miles away at a military target range, Lt. Col. Roberta Niedt of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs told reporters in the Jersey shore township's police headquarters.

No one was injured as school was out and a lone custodian was inside the building when the bullets hit.

I teach on an Army post in Germany, and when the jets are flying over or artillery practice is going on, it makes what happened in Jersey seem tame by comparison. Haven't actually been hit, yet, though.
