Indiana Army National Guard Convoy Attacked in Bloomington
An Indiana Army National Guard convoy was attacked as it passed through Bloomington, Indiana on Saturday. The convoy was ferrying supplies between National Guard depots. The soldiers did not expect hostilities in the Hoosier state and were unprepared. A large crowd at the side of the road attacked the convoy with victory shouts, confetti, fireworks, and Indiana University T-shirts fired from a T-shirt canon. The troops were startled but did not return fire. An Army National Guard spokesman indicated that there was a clear gap in training and intelligence.
