FORT HOOD (November 5, 2009)— Army Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan whom Fort Hood officials identified as the soldier who opened fire Thursday afternoon on post, killing 12 and wounding 30 others, is not dead, according to the post’s commander, who earlier said the gunman was dead.
Lt. Gen. Robert Cone declined to comment on Hasan's condition.
Hasan was reportedly taken to Scott & White Hospital in Temple.
Fort Hood ended its lockdown Thursday evening, more than six hours after a shooting that left 12 people including the gunman dead and 31 more injured.
The post set up a hotline for relatives of Fort Hood personnel, who may call (254) 288-7570 or (866) 836-2751 for information about loved ones.
The Killeen ISD said Thursday evening the lock down at Fort Hood has ended and that parents may now pick up children at their schools on post.
Traffic was moving slowly at post gates, however.

If I had MY way....in a perfect world....he WOULDN’T be.
Too civilized with tree-rope combo. Make him eat bacon, cut off his arms and legs and make him kiss the Bible. Death is too easy for this POS.
Military court. Military justice.
I guess he is Happy that Obamacare has not been pasted yet
KFI Ken and John have been dishing out details here in Los Angeles....just carried the News Conference where we learned the Major was alive.
Man that was fast....
This is a pretty “major” clarification. You are either dead or you are alive. How did they get this one wrong?
Good.
I’ve been out of the Army for a few years, so my UCMJ knowledge is a bit rusty.
Does the UCMJ allow for slow, painful executions?
You have a kinder soul than I.
Send him to Gitmo....
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries!
Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy.
The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.
A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.
No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome.”
— Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).
Because of buttoned down military lips. I’m just delighted to hear that it was a woman police officer who shot him and she is alive. The story continues to evolve....
