LITTLE EGG HARBOR, New Jersey (AP) -- The target was an object on the ground well within the confines of the Warren Grove firing range, a 2,400-acre scrub pine expanse used by the military to train pilots in bombing and strafing techniques.

But when the heavy gun in the left wing of an Air National Guard F-16 fighter jet fired Wednesday night, it sent 25 rounds of 20mm ammunition smashing through the roof and zinging off the asphalt parking lot of the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School 3 1/2 miles from the range.

The article goes on to talk about the investigation being launched and the fear of the townspeople.  I can't blame them for fear, I'd be afraid if my own nation's warplanes were shooting up my school, even by accident at night.

Technology is only as smart as its user.

Or as drunk.  Somehow I wouldn't be surprised if their investigation turns up something along those lines...
