NATIONALLightning strike at Colorado's Fort Carson injures 12 soldiersAugust 1, 2013 | By Benjamin MuellerTwelve Fort Carson soldiers were hospitalized, two of whom remained in critical condition Thursday, after lightning struck an open field south of the Butts Army Airfield in Colorado where the 52nd Engineer Battalion was training. The battalion was conducting a training exercise on Wednesday in a large field empty of vegetation when it was warned of an approaching storm system, Dani Johnson, Fort Carson's chief of media relations, told the Los Angeles Times.
