The Army has launched an inquiry into whether federal laws were broken when soldiers were sent to an Alabama town after 11 people died in a shooting spree.
The Army confirmed Wednesday that 22 military police and an officer from Fort Rucker were sent to the nearby town of Samson after slayings last week. The town's tiny police force and county officers were stretched to the limit after a gunman killed 10 people and himself.
Authorization from the governor or president is typically required for the deployment of federal troops on U.S. soil. It's not clear who ordered the troops sent to Samson.
An Army spokesman says the military is trying to determine what happened. Among the questions is why the troops were sent and what they did while there.
