It sounds like a marshaling area ready for troop deployment or "The Readiness Center will provide administrative, training and supply space..."
3 Shooter according to Fox now. Nuns attack? How about those crazy Amish? /Sarc
“Fox is notorious for running with the rumors.”
Only among the MSM who consider “fake but accurate” to be the standard.
Yeah..sounds like something to get the Protest in DC off the front pages. Coordinated, no doubt. But by whom?

FORT HOOD (November 5, 2009)-Army officials have confirmed a mass shooting on Fort Hood.
The Associated Press reports that seven are dead and 15 more are injured, but other reports place the number of injured as low as 12 and as high as 20.
There are also confirmed reports that a police officer was shot in a post exchange, but other details werent available.
All available ambulances and paramedics in the area were responding to post.
The shooting happened in on Battalion Avenue.
Fort Hood is shut down and no one is being allowed on or off post.
Killeen ISD officials say all nine schools on post are on lock down because of the situation.
Temple ISD reports they are on a “soft” lock down in connection with the Fort Hood.
“Temple Police Department requested Temple ISD place all campuses and district buildings in a soft lockdown, due to a situation at Fort Hood, TISD spokesperson Regina Corley told News 10 by news release.
It has to be. I was thinking a Weather Underground type of group.
I know you’re right, Tank.
Prayers up for all involved.
This is not sounding good.
The local Congresscritters just
mentioned 50,000 at the base.
AP confirms: 7 dead, 20 wounded
In reality it is big, because an attack on a US Military base SHOULD be viewed as an act of war.
But, the current leadership will treat it as a law enforcement matter, “prosecute” the perps, and call it “doing something about it”.
Update .. 7 dead and 20 wounded......
7 dead 20 wonded! WOW!
Battle fatigue???? Two shooters, possibly a third according to a poster on this thread - Battle fatigue???? Since when does PTSD or battle fatigue happen in twain or in groups?
“civilian guns are strictly prohibited on military bases.”
In my day they were stored in the armory if you lived in the barracks on post.....living off-post with them was a different matter, but even then, you could elect to store them in your units armory if you wished
Bushs ranch is about an hour from there.
I just noticed something bizarre — I’ve not yet heard anyone state, “This is NOT a terrorist attack,” — isn’t that normally one of the very first things said?
Newer reports that there is one suspect in custody, one suspect is surrounded, and a THIRD suspect is still loose and still shooting. Now reading reports of as many as 20 injured. This is bad and getting worse.
BUSH’S FAULT!!!
Good grief. She's at it again. stress, stress, young, young. It's ridiculous.
Prays for the victims and that all involved are apprehended.
Prayers indeed...hope they’re safe.
I tend to agree with you...
UPDATE: 20 wounded per AP..
This is simply beyond belief.
Shocking.
If there are 2 or 3 shooters this is BIG
