There was a firing incident at Ft. Hood on January 26th. 12 155mm rounds were dropped on a ranch outside the impact area according to this weeks Army Times. "Preliminary findings have revealed that an M109A6 Paladin 155mm sel-propelled howitzer was firing that night in the opposite direction of it's intended target. It was one of several cannons attached to the 1st Cavalry Division that were training that night. An incorrect firing direction was entered into the gu-systems computer, changing the aiming direction to point northwest instead of southeast according to the findings. The error resulted in one illumination round and 11 high-explosive shells fired toward teh Shoaf family's four-home estate, more then seven miles away.
Family members said the shelling began about 9:15 p.m. and didn't cease for another hour."
I wonder how the FOs let 12 unobserved round be fired?
