A National Guard F-16 fighter plane mistakenly fired off 25 rounds of ammunition at the Little Egg Harbour Intermediate School in South New Jersey overnight.

The pilot was meant to fire the rounds about five kilometres away at a military target range, Lieutenant-Colonel Roberta Niedt of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs told reporters in the Jersey shore township's police headquarters.

No-one was injured as school was out and a lone custodian was inside the building when the bullets hit.

Damage was minimal, with the non-exploding, 20 millimetre bullets leaving puncture marks in the school's roof and the asphalt outside the building.

The fighter jet was part of the 113th Wing, District of Columbia Air National Guard assigned to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

An investigation was being conducted into how the pilot mistook the school, located on Frog Pond Road, for a target range.

Could you see this? Your a 3 year old and you have a report due tomarrow that you did not do becuse you played xbox all night and your scared of getting in trouble.

You wake up the next morning to find out a f-16 blew up your school.
