The deployment of military police to assist in the Alabama shooting response violated the Posse Comitatus Act.

An Army investigation found that soldiers should not have been sent to man traffic stops in a small Alabama town after 11 people were killed in March during a shooting spree. An Army report released to the Associated Press on Monday in response to a FOIA request said the decision to dispatch military police to Sampson from nearby Fort Rucker broke the law.
