It's not correct to state the MPs were patrolling just because that's what Reuters reported. On 10 March 2009, after a report of an apparent mass murder in Samson, AL, 22 Military Police Soldiers from Fort Rucker, AL, along with the Fort Rucker Provost Marshal were sent to the City of Samson. The purpose for sending the Military Police, the authority for doing so, and what duties they performed is the subject of an on-going Commander's Inquiry directed by the Commanding General, US Army Training and Doctrine Command, GEN Martin Dempsey. In addition to determining the facts, this Inquiry will also consider whether law, regulation and policy were followed. Until those facts are determined, it would be inappropriate to speculate or comment further. In the aftermath of this horrific crime spree, the military community of Fort Rucker joins the greater Alabama Wiregrass community in its grief and concern for the victims and their families.
