An Army paratrooper at Fort Bragg in North Carolina was injured Thursday during a live-fire exercise on a controlled range, according to the Army.

The paratrooper, who is assigned to the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, was shot in the foot while soldiers were clearing a building, 82nd spokesman Lt. Col. Michael Burns told Army Times. The incident is under investigation, but Burns said the Army believes a round ricocheted and struck the paratrooper.
