Incident is under investigation
(CNN)Norwegian defense officials are investigating how one of their fighter jets fired on a control tower during exercises over an island off the country's west coast this month, something that's not unprecedented.

Norwegian Royal Air Force F-16s were practicing attacks on simulated targets on Tarva island early April 13 when cannon fire from the fighter jets tore into a control tower, almost striking three people inside, Maj. Stian Roen told CNN.
None of the three, who were described as "controlling the targets," were injured. "We are thankful for that," Roen said.
F-16s are armed with a six-barrel, 20 mm Gatling gun, capable of firing 6,000 rounds per minute.
Norwegian officials did not say how many rounds hit the tower. They said the rounds were "cold bullets" used only for training and had no explosives in them.
