Twelve people have been killed and 31 wounded in a shooting spree at a Texas military base by what officials believe was possibly carried out by an Army officer.

The suspected gunman was identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan.

The shooter was killed and two other suspects, who are also soldiers, have been apprehended, Lt. Gen. Robert W. Cone said.

The gunman used two handguns, Cone said. He wasn't sure if the shooter reloaded the weapons during the attack.

CNN is maybe backing off the multiple shooters angle. Not confirmed.

Imagine the coincidence of this happening on the 30th anniversary of the American Embassy take over in Tehran.

Interesting.

It's just wrong to spew that kind of speculation at a time like this.

I strongly agree.

There’s something wrong with people who have this little respect for the military by the time they reach adult-hood.

I hope someone has captured these comments on tape, and can place it on YouTube.

One of the FIRST things Steve Centani said was, could be post traumatic stress......COMMON among Iraq/Afghanistan vets.

Candidate Obama echoed this same talking point. Told veterans about his uncle who lived in an attic with PDS his whole life. And then talked of how he liberated Aschwitz (with the Soviet Red Army?!!).

Just updated. 7 dead over 20 wounded. May be still ongoing.

With two or more shooters at two or more seperate places, I am presuming terrorism until shown otherwise. Hopefully other bases are already on gaurd. Sounds like the Ft. Dix plan that was foiled, repackaged.

It’s gonna be spinned on gun rights.
On an Army base? How?

As far as I know, civilian guns are strictly prohibited on military bases.

Exactly, there is more gun control on a military base then in the civilian world. Unauthorized use of weaponry, even in benign instances, can lead to serious disciplinary actions. The military takes weapons safety VERY seriously.

local news reporting 7 dead, 20 injured. One armed suspect still at large.

I just had contact with my husband’s second. Hubby and all the guys in our company accounted for and unharmed.

Good observation. They are usually very quick to tell us that it isn’t a terrorist attack.

Confirmed 3 shooters. 1 still loose and shooting.

I'd bet a month's salary it's an outbreak of ROP.

“[CNN] talking ad nauseam about the “stress” of combatants”
It’s just wrong to spew that kind of speculation at a time like this.


Like the damned incessant radio spots where vets are portrayed as wound up headcases.

Liberalism - it does to morals and reason what leprosy does to the body.

It was a coordinated attack on different parts of the base simultaneously?

Yep--and there may very well be more of them.

That’s something that can’t be dismissed. Good point...

Sgt. Akbar was taken alive after he threw a grenade into an officers’ tent killing 2 and injuring a dozen men. That case dragged on for years.
