Hearing Mass casualty at Camp Shelby. Update #2

To my knowledge and people I know, it was not a shooting, but an operation gone wrong which is why I did not put the word "shooting" in the title.
I'm praying that the "mass casualty" turns out to be incorrect. That is how they approached it.
Reporter from the area if you wish to keep up
So far, there are no reported deaths and/or life threatening injuries per news sources. Let's hope it stays that way.

Capt. Ashley Bain-Sangster, a public affairs officer with the 4th Brigade Combat Team 25th Infantry Division, said more than 3,000 soldiers are here for training at Camp Shelby. Around 80 we’re participating in tonight’s exercise. Not all are injured.

I’m here at Forrest General where ambulances have been rolling in. Lots of law enforcement too. We were told by an official that there were more than 80 participating in the exercise

Is this the mass shooting everyone was predicting?

Hearing where? Like, shots out or the window?
Why don’t you link where you heard it?

Definitely expecting a false flag to save Dems right now. Did the muzzles get their order?

Wow. How does that happen?

Do tree tops soften a landing?
Posted on 10/2/19 at 10:25 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
Was it a night /blind training event?

It happens quite a bit usually when either planes get a touch off course (rarely), they're going too fast, the wind is stronger or is poorly predicted, etc. It especially happens a lot at night (which given the timing of this post, I am assuming it as a night jump).
That said, if this is true, soldiers land in trees on jumps quite often and usually don't come out any worse than a broken ankle or a jacked up back. If it's really a mass cas event, then maybe there's something else going on like a systemic parachute failure or something.

That's a relative question, but there has to be more to this.

Apparently there are 4,000 troops from Alaska there doing a training exercise called Operation Arctic Anvil.
