At least 22 paratroopers were injured after a night time military exercise goes wrong at Camp Shelby


(CNN) A military training exercise at Camp Shelby in Mississippi left at least 22 paratroopers injured and several "in the trees," an army official said. But authorities don't know what went wrong during the night jump to land them there. Members of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division out of Alaska were conducting night jumps at Camp Shelby Joint Forces Training Center , 25th Infantry spokesperson Cpt. On the first pass to a drop zone near Camp Shelby, something went wrong and several in the unit ended up "in the trees," Sangster said. Weather was "fair" and the aircraft landed safely, Sangster said, so authorities are still trying to determine what went wrong.
