“12 killed in shooting at Fort Hood”

SNIPPET: “Most of those killed were also soldiers, according to the briefing by Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, the post commander. One shooter was killed and the other two were in custody, he said.
Cone said that local police responded relatively quickly and killed one of the shooters. He said he believed that one Fort Hood civilian police officer was among the dead. Fort Hood has contract and military police, he said.
“This is a terrible tragedy,” Cone said.

ABC News identified the dead assailant as Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan of Virginia.
Cone did not speculate about a motive, but the Army released a statement saying it did not believe the shootings were an act of political terrorism.”
