FORT JACKSON, S.C. (WIS) - Fort Jackson has paused its weapons immersion training, officials say.
The pause is in response to last week’s school bus hijacking in Richland County.
A statement Fort Jackson officials released on Thursday states:
“We have paused our weapons immersion training while we continue investigating. Although we knew there was no ammunition in the weapon, we acknowledge that others did not know that fact. Our goal is to determine how this happened and what actions are needed to prevent it in the future.
