Strafing of the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School
The strafing of the Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School was an incident in Little Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey, United States, in which a military aircraft on a training mission unintentionally fired dozens of cannon rounds while attempting to fire an aircraft mounted laser. The aircraft was within the training range, as was the target the laser was pointed at. The laser target was approximately 90 degrees off the side of the aircraft, but the bullets fire in front of the aircraft. The bullets flew over 4 miles, with several of them striking the then-named Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School, which housed grades 3–6 and is part of the Little Egg Harbor Township School District. In 2009, the school was converted into a K-6 school and subsequently renamed the Frog Pond Elementary School.
==Incident==
On November 4, 2004, at around 9pm, an F-16 Fighting Falcon jet from the 113th Wing of the District of Columbia Air National Guard, based at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland on a training mission at the Warren Grove Bombing Range was climbing upward at 8,000 feet. The lead pilot was on a training ride in pursuit of an upgrade to instructor pilot. A recent software change in the F-16 allowed the externally mounted targeting pod to stabilize on a spot on the earth when the avionics were in Air to Ground Mode, Strafe Sub-Mode. The pilot intended to fire a laser at a strafe target located on the range. The laser and gun share the same trigger. The pilot pulled the trigger, firing not only the laser but also the internal M61 Vulcan cannon, discharging 27 rounds of 20mm ammunition which then fell to the ground, with eight striking the school's roof and the rest hitting the parking lot and the side of the building.
A janitor, who saw holes in the ceiling and had heard something on the roof, contacted the police.
