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.

Obama has got this covered..! He’s thoroughly CONSIDERING the situation, y’all..!

He’s got this finger teepee deployed, and he’s wearing a really serene look on this face, and that means he’s super smart, and stuff.

General Barry McCaffrey (U.S. Army Retired) on MSNBC just said Fort Hood is the “largest concentration of military combat power in the U.S.”

He speculated that this could be a crime (robbery, drug deal, etc.) gone bad.

Drug deal? WTF??????

[SE Mom]

I've been on bases multiple times for military ceremonies.

Me too. Many times..

My son was at Ft. Campbell when there was a shooting several years ago. Not nearly like this though.

I can't grasp this.

The sergeant spokesperson at the base, said there is an all points bulletin for the second shooter, but DECLINED TO DESCRIBE THE SHOOTER.

That will certainly make him easier to identify. / sarc.

The Army says seven people were killed and 20 wounded in a pair of shootings at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas.

An Army spokesman at the Pentagon says the shootings began about 1:30 p.m. Thursday at a personnel and medical processing center at Fort Hood.

The spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Nathan Banks, says two shooters were apparently involved. There is no word yet on who they were, nor on identities of the dead.

Banks says the second incident took place at a theater on the sprawling base.

He says it is too soon to tell whether there is any link to battle stress or repeated deployments. The Army is suffering a record high suicide rate and other signs of stress from fighting two wars.

A Sgt. Major from Fort Hood is saying on CNN that they fired INTO the Readiness Center.

Yeah and said there is a BOLO for the second shooter but declined to give CNN the description.

[DoughtyOne]

Well, you’ve led me to a point I wanted to make here.

If these shooters are found to be a member of some anti-military or leftist organization, I hope that organization gets a once-over that involves a proctologist’s scope, and by the time it is over they can tell us how many cavities they have by using it.

[ohioWfan]

Exactly. Terrorism unless proven otherwise.

KBH said she was told by a General as many as 30 wounded.

“Prison converts would be my guess”

Came to my mine as well. How they got on base though...inside help?

For all their faults, I think CNN is doing a better job reporting it. They are trying to gather facts. Fox has Shemp in the corner window speculating, with a larger view of the underside of a blimp or something.

[Carley]

Why do we have to be punished with Shep every time there is a serious issue.

Can’t FNC find someone with half a brain to replace him.

[Natural Law]

"Bet it was her snarky anti-military nastiness, Barbara Starr"

OMG. That Barney Frank in drag!

[djf]

clean it up, for crying out loud. What are you, like 12?

[Ronbo1948]

Ditto! An ROP operation for sure! “Hey, hey, ho, ho - Muslims in America have to go!”

[mojitojoe]

I think Shep’s comment was deplorable. He is a complete attention whore little queer. Why they keep him on Fox is beyond me. When he comes on, I change the channel and hold my nose and watch CNN.

Which may mean nothing. ACU's are easy to buy.

Yeah You can even buy Halloween costumes that look like military fatigues.

[Mr. Jazzy]

Really BIG freakin’ clue as to the nature of the attack.

[snidely whiplash III]

This looks like what happened yesterday in Afganistan....5 Brits gunned down by a so called comrade!

[Cyropaedia]

There goes the “post-traumatic stress” angle...
