    It was fired on a "downward trajectory" yet still managed to go about three miles, hit a tree, bounce off the ground, go through the outside wall, hit the ceiling and the opposite wall in the room before stopping.

    Fired downward. For three miles. ... RIGHT!

    At first I thought this was at Fort Sill, the home of U.S. artillery.

    Pretty obvious these gunners didn't have proper fire direction training. You don't just point and shoot them.
