I agree TS. There is no way a shot group that tight could have occured from 7K unless the acft was pointed directly at it. OTOH it is possible that he was in a dive in preparation of strafing the target which was three miles away.
I don't see the quote you cited in the posted URL. Perhaps it is in another article from a different reporter. What I see is:
"The pilot of the single-seat jet was supposed to fire at a ground target on the firing range three and half miles from the school, said Col. Brian Webster, commander of the 177th Fighter Wing of the New Jersey Air National Guard (search), which is responsible for the range. He did not know what led to the school getting shot up.
As is the case with most unintentional discharges it is likely "Operator's Headspace". At this time I don't klnow if any determoinations or accusations have been made by the responsible agencies.
I guess that my original post was that I detected nothing improper in the way the incident was reported.
