Suspected Gunman Is Identified by ABC News as Major Malik Nadal Hasan

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.

The general called the attack "a terrible tragedy, stunning." He said the community was "absolutely devastated."

The extent of the injuries of victims "varies significantly," according to Cone.

Note the last shooting upon soldiers in the US was another Muslim convert The suspect arrested in the fatal shooting of one soldier and the critical injury of another at a Little Rock, Ark., Army recruiting booth today was under investigation by the FBI’s Joint Terrorist Task Force since his return from Yemen, ABC News has learned.

The investigation was in its preliminary stages, authorities said, and was based on the suspect’s travel to Yemen and his arrest there for using a Somali passport.

The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, 24, had changed his name from Carlos Leon Bledsoe after converting to the Muslim faith. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,524799,00.html

Don’t forget the guy who threw the grenade into a tent during the invasion of Iraq. He was a black Muslim as I recall.

I just did a people search on AKO (Army Knowledge Online) and it didn’t list a Malik Hasan. Either someone in the Army has removed his name or he changed his name since registering on AKO.
