One of the scanner blips had a call reporting a witness seeing a man in fatigues. At a point, with one still on the loose, you’d think he might change clothes.
FBI en route per Fox.
The Eric Holder onslaught.
Local emergency radio traffic for police and EMS in Ft. Hood area. I know they have switched to tactical channels during emergencies, but it is interesting to listen to the main.

“offpost” shooting still on going per KCEN
You hear about this yet?
CRAP!! Prayers. :-(
Ouch! (that was really good)
I’ve been pondering how blase all of us have been over the recent spate of jihadis nailed in the US.
They exemplify the varied nature of jihad - imams, US converts, professionals, students, long time US residents......
Any bets on if these guys turn up with connections to Pakistan? Like so many of the busted jihadis....
I was working on the Acadamy in CO Springs this summer. They had civilians at the gate with side arms and AF people at the entrance to the cadet area with M-4s. Very cool place to work.
Thank you for the update. I appreciate it.
God bless and protect your son.
People are reporting that their children are locked up in their schools, and that they are not allowed to leave their homes or contact their children.
"I'm watching FOX and they have no idea as to what has happened. Anything from one flipping out to terrorists is being suggested.
Something to keep in mind. I was there recently. The base itself, the cantonment area, is huge, its like a small city, has nine schools. There's over 50,000 troops and families there, although some are deployed.
I can imagine that we will hear all sorts of speculation, assumptions, and rumors from the media before what we find out what happened.
They are saying now one shooter is wounded and captured and one at large."
I agreed, most people don't understand, Ft. Hood is humongous. It's running most of a Heavy Corps out of the place. You simply cannot search everyone and thing going in or out. The only way that's going to remotely happen is threatcon Charlie or Delta, and that'll mean a plain lockdown. That cannot be maintained indefinitely for obvious reasons.
As a female recruit back in 1980 when I had to repeat the jingle about the difference the Drill's had to turn their backs they were laughing so hard.
Do you trust the FBI to report accurately about terrorism links? My faith is weak.
Wonder if anyone on the base is using twitter. Surely someone there can send out a description of the shooters to the rest of us.
Has anyone gotten twitter updates?
Scott and White Hospital. Although, if you listen to the locals, it comes out "Scotten Wite".
Yes, every time Duh Media says M-16s, makes me think 'or AR-15s'.
