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.

“Soldier Readiness Center”

Just what is says. It gets Soldiers ready to be deployable. ID cards, support/allotment paperwork, etc.

Office types doing required paperwork.

Doesn’t sound like it does it.

It rubs me the wrong way for them to be speculating at all, at this point.

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

I left out the option of it being a soldier. I didn’t want to speculate that one of our own would do it.

They’re going into full auto template huh


That’s the angle they will go with. The leftist media will say “See this is proof we need to get out of Iraq and Afghanistan, the military is producing murderers” you can see the writing on the wall with what the media is gonna say.

Second suspect is ‘surrounded’ .. and
a third suspect is shooting at the
post very recently .. near the PX.

Vague description only: that they’re
in military fatigues.

““military uniform” does not necessarily mean soldiers.”

If this a terror attack, then they would probably have obtained uniforms.
Other bases around the country should be alert in case this part of a bigger thing.

Paranoid mindset in action: MS-13 routinely smuggles AQ types over the border using established drug and weapons routes. Texas is a natural destination for something like that.

I doubt if it has anything to do with mental health.

My husband was the commanding officer of the Readiness Center at an Army base...it’s a transition center. If I can remember correctly, the soldiers reported there when they were assigned to the base or departing and getting another base assignment elsewhere. The Readiness Center handled their records.
