NEW EGG HARBOR, N.J. -- The U.S. military was investigating Thursday a National Guard F-16 fighter jet that fired 25 rounds through a New Jersey school.
The rounds were fired on a nighttime training mission Wednesday, WCAU-TV Philadelphia reported. There were no injuries.
Police were called to the school in New Egg Harbor when a custodian heard noises coming from the roof of the building.
Police Chief Mark Siino said officers found punctures in the roof that caused ceiling tiles to fall into classrooms. He said there were scratch marks in the asphalt outside the building.
The 2-inch long bullets are made of lead and do not explode, said Col. Brian Webster, commander of the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard.
