It was also the 101st where that Islamic Sgt fragged a command tent in Kuwait prior to the invasion of Iraq. My old unit is getting some rough press.

[stevio]

That's it. We need to ban the military from having guns!

[Iron Matron]

The soldier, whose name was not released,

Mohammad, Ahmed, Allahabad, Ahab...whats really in a name anyway? Stinks just the same.

[ExpatGator]

Good thing it was not a Marine doing the shooting, or someone would have been hit.

[ConservativeMind]

"No one was injured"?

Obviously, this man is both nuts and an extremely poor shot.

[semaj]

He needs to be court-martialed, if not for assault with a deadly weapon, how about failure (thankfully) to demonstrate proficiency with his assigned weapon. On further note, I hope he got the shit kicked out of himself before being apprehended by the MP's.

[Cinnamon]

is his name John Bin Kerry?

[HairOfTheDog]

Thank goodness he was a lousy shot.

[GSlob]

Well, there are two good things in it:
First of all, that the perpetrator is a blissfully poor shot [unless - which is unlikely - it was an accidental discharge and/or a weapon malfunction];
The second is that the perp has been self-identified and will now be removed from circulation before greater harm would have befallen.

Fort Campbell soldier fires into PT formation on post

By Gina Cavallaro
Times staff writer

A soldier reportedly dressed in Ninja-like attire fired live rounds from a .357-caliber Magnum into a physical training formation at Fort Campbell, Ky., this morning.

No one was hurt in the 7 a.m. shooting and the soldier, who has not yet been identified, was arrested by military police.

“Military police apprehended the solider and brought him into custody. He did have a weapon, it was a handgun, nonmilitary issue,” said Fort Campbell spokeswoman Cathy Gramling.

Charges have not been filed and Fort Campbell officials declined further comment, but according to a soldier in the area at the time of the alleged attack, the suspect fired three shots at a group of soldiers in formation for PT in front of the division’s 1st Brigade Combat Team headquarters.

After firing the first volley of shots, he ran behind the headquarters building of 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry, where several troops were at work, said the soldier, who spoke on the condition his identity not be revealed.

He said that when a soldier from the 2-327 opened a back door, the armed soldier allegedly fired another round of shots, which ricocheted off the ground and the building, then continued running.

After evading soldiers at the 2-327, the gunman allegedly ducked into a building of the 3rd Battalion, 327th Infantry, shed a tactical holster, black jacket and balaclava mask, then walked out of the building and allegedly pointed to an area away from the building and told MPs at the site he had seen a man running in that direction, the soldier said.

The MPs arrested the soldier on the spot and placed him in confinement.

The soldier, whose name was not released, because it's obviously muslim, "is in custody after firing shots at a physical training formation"

[Rockpile]

In the late 1970s a black soldier on one of the rifle ranges in South korea murdered four white soldiers and wounded one or two more with an M16.

The Army and their pals in the News Cartel made sure that the incident got buried pronto. There was one brief account and then it disappeared into the black hole of news hiding.

Old John Kerry article?

[WillamShakespeare]

It obviously can`t be a soldier who follows Islam because as we all know, Islam is a religion of peace.

[Rembrandt]

Gee, it would be SUCH a shock if he had an Arabic name.

[indcons]

Let me guess.....Ahmed Bin Somethin?

[sono]

Obviously not related to Alvin C. York He sorely needs that free eye exam at Pearle Vision Center.

I am going to take a stab and say that this guy was drunk and acting like a moron. Enjoy Leavenworth.
