Few details emerged Saturday on a reported threat at Fort Benning.
Thursday a solider found a suspicious package and a note threatening a massacre similar to the Nov. 5 attack at Fort Hood, Texas, Elsie Jackson, post spokeswoman at Fort Benning confirmed Saturday.
The anonymous note and package -- reported by The Army Times as a box of 20 hollow-point bullets -- were found Thursday morning outside a motor pool area at Fort Benning, located near Columbus.
"There may be an update Monday," said Jackson Saturday. "But at this time there is an ongoing investigation of the incident."
The discovery coincided with a visit from Gen. David Petraeus, commander of U.S. Central Command, who was in town for Officer Candidate School graduation. The threat prompted a criminal investigation and greater police presence on the Army base, the Army Times reports.
According to a witness on the scene, a box of 20 hollow-point shells and a handwritten note were found under the 197th Infantry Training Brigade.

... “They’re talking with anyone with a pending [Uniform Code of Military Justice] charge and people who are getting chaptered out to see if they can find out who it is,” the witness told the Army Times.
On the surface, this doesn’t sound like a muslim terrorist....
It appears to be a cry for help from a service member......
The correct response to the Fort Hood terrorism would have been to apply pressure on the Muslim community to make certain there are no copycat jihadists. Instead this administration and its state media did the dodge and fake move to caution Americans against reprisals, as if that ever happens. It’s all part of the leftist agenda to arouse hate and fear of conservatives, Christians and patriots. The way this administration is crashing, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the stakes elevated, and have some act of lunacy blamed on right wing elements. Watch and see.
B.S. He's just maneuvering for early promotion.
Making their point with a box of hollow point shells ... demonstrates they may well have a gun inside too. There is a need for MP”S to be armed and available ... to respond to such threats..

You forgot to add: “I’m General Casey and/or SECDEF Gates and I approved this message.”
Kind of funny the way “big” stories pop up around voting time. Sort of like the stage magician who is flourishing an empty left hand, while the right digs around in his tux tails for cards, rabbits and little coloured scarves.

Yeah, we’re not at war on our own soil. /s
IIRC, there are protests at Benning every year at this time against the “School of the Americas” program.

Thanks for the link ALOHA RONNIE. Wish I could have been there.
Obviously a typo. Could you search some other articles for details on that? Thanks.
No such thing. Bullets are to cartridges as flour is to bread as cement is to concrete, etc. When will they ever learn?
Shells are to aquatic live as roofs are to houses, or stated so that even the dullest in the MSM can understand, shellcases are the part of a cartridge that holds and orients the other components. You can't put any kind of point on something that doesn't have a point.
Which school of Long Range Psychonalysis Without Much Information did you attend to come to this conclusion?
My thoughts as well.......unless a civilian employee found em. Troops would or should have referred to em as 20 rounds of hollow point ammunition . Army PA officer or CID should have picked up on such as well.....terminology leads to BS flag being at half mast.
....or somebody who was passed over for the OCS class that Patraeus was there to watch graduate.
Or it could be a muzzie enlistee who wants the charges against Husan dropped because he agrees with what Husan did.
Yeah ;-)
