Investigation has been launched by the US Army to find the reason for the injuries in this longtime tradition at the prestigious academy that has been training military officers.
The incident was first reported on Saturday and now it has started raising questions. It is said many students placed helmets in their pillows and this weaponed them.
Meanwhile, Lt. Gen. Robert L. Caslen, Jr., superintendent of the academy has said to be taking full responsibility of what has occurred at the event.
