(August 19, 2008)—Four civilian workers were sent to a Gatesville hospital after an artillery shell fell short of an impact area where troops were training at Fort Hood.
Maj. Jay Adams of III Corps said an artillery unit was conducting training when the round fell just short of the impact area near the Brookhaven Range Complex around 4 p.m. last Thursday.
The four civilians, who were not seriously hurt, were treated and later released, Adams said.
“We simply don't know for certainty what happened,” Adams said.
Adams said two investigations have been launched, one that will focus mainly on safety issues and the second by the chain of command to determine if there was any negligence.
