A military helicopter accidentally dropped a box full of ammunition over a Texas elementary school Thursday mid-afternoon, leaving a gaping hole in the roof, according to officials.

The incident caused a portion of Parkland Elementary School to be without power, the Ysleta Independent School District said in a statement.

The mishap occurred after school had already been released, the statement read. Military police responded to the scene and an investigation is underway.

This would have been approximately the same time as the school shooting in Texas.

WTF was a military chopper doing flying directly over a school in the first place. Article say military response was to ensure flight patterns are changed. I would have thought at this point that airspace directly over schools and government buildings would be restricted areas. I guess not.

Big Mistake!

They were supposed to drop it through the roof of the Parkland Florida school.

The school shootings happened between 8-9am.

The article says the students had already been released when the box of ammo hit the roof, so it must have been mid-afternoon.

Parkland was the name of the hospital in Texas where JFK was taken after he was shot.

This is the second (at least) recent event involving “Parkland”.

Coincidence? Or is this the Deep State sending a threatening message to POTUS?

Do you know how hard it is to drop something out of an aircraft and hit a target? (Depends on how low the helicopter was. Lower is obviously easier.)

It makes me think of when the “police” removed the heavy bag from Parkland school and toss it into their white truck.

They could have dropped it in my yard M885A1 or 7.62. Ammo is expensive. :-)

Gun violence at schools really is getting out of control.

Helicopter control!
