An Army officer was found negligent and sentenced to four months in prison for failing to follow safety procedures at a Fort Campbell, Kentucky, firing range where a junior soldier died.
Capt. Christopher Peeples, an aviation officer, was found guilty of dereliction of duty by a court-martial on April 13, according to legal records released by the Army. The court found Peeples failed to follow Army safety precautions while he was in charge of firearms training at the base in 2018.

Wow! Did he step on his poncho or take the fall for an inadequate subordinate?
