Coast Guard fires machine guns on Lake Superior

[GLF]

MILITARY: Training goes ahead during a debate on permanent live-fire zones on the Great Lakes.

Crews on two U.S. Coast Guard vessels fired machine guns Tuesday on Lake Superior off Two Harbors as part of live-fire training exercises that some people mistakenly believed were on hold.

The crews fired M-240 machine guns at a floating target about eight miles offshore, said Chief Petty Office Robert Lanier, spokesman for the Coast Guard's Great Lakes district based in Cleveland.
