ABC ^ | 05 NOV 09

[DCBryan1]

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.

On MSNBC, I heard General McCafferty state that he didn't believe that it was a terrorist attack, and that instead, he believes it was a criminal enterprise. Can you believe it?

Right. Sure it was. </sarc>

If I was a drug dealer, a fenced and guarded military base would NOT be my first choice to engage in a fire-fight. If a mass shooting happened in a bar or pizza place just off the base, THEN I might think it was gang related.

Nope Amish or maybe Mennonites

Why, exactly, is it an "OUTRAGE" that somebody would speculate that soldiers might be responsible for a shooting committed within the grounds of an Army post?

I don't know for sure about the area in which this shooting took place, but is it reasonable to assume that it's in a restricted-access area? And if so .... wouldn't soldiers posted at Ft. Hood be a pretty reasonable suspicion?

Not saying that's what actually happened -- I have no idea. But it's not an "OUTRAGE" to as you so adamantly suggest.

That is MY guess.

, and that instead, he believes it was a criminal enterprise. Can you believe it?

There is reason to believe that is a very possible scenario. There are rumors that Ft. Hood was rife with corruption, from the command structure on down.

Tomorrow's headline may read "PX robbery gone bad".

...cuz he’s so purdy

[fishergirl]

Oh, he’s such an @ss!! And stupid CNN keeps showing a sign at Fort Hood that says something like Combat Stress Reset Program. Bastards!!!!!!!!!

KCEN reports one in custody, one cornered (fire exchanged with SWAT team) and one unaccounted for.

Three? Gotta be terrorists. Or liberals.

General Russel Honore on CNN: Alarm on base, according to his Fort Hood source, signals all persons to shut down heating/air conditioning and take immediate cover.

God, this is so painful.

Our heroes under attack.

Their families terrified to get the visit.

My heart is breaking for them.

This may or may not be a pic of the perps, then:

KCEN says the suspect that exchanged fire may not be cornered any longer, they may have gotten away, but that is unconfirmed. Also, staying that civilians (family members) may have also been in buildings where shootings occurred.

[happygrl]

Shades of the Mumbai attack. Different groups all shooting.

We've been told over and over that it would come to our shores.

[dragnet2]

Boy, someone is going to have a lot of questions to answer given the fact that this is a military base, **during wartime**
