“Former Magic Valley man among Fort Hood shooting victims”
By John Plestina - Times-News writer | Posted: Sunday, November 8, 2009 1:55 am
SNIPPET: “A man who grew up in Jerome was the first victim shot in Thursday’s Fort Hood shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 38 injured.
Army Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning, 33, survived six gunshot wounds when the shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, entered the Soldier Readiness Center at the military post near Killeen, Texas, and fired more than 100 rounds with two handguns at soldiers undergoing medical screening in preparation for deployment to Afghanistan.”
SNIPPET: “Lott said Manning is a mental health professional but he did not know the shooter.
Manning is a veteran of two tours of duty in Iraq. He joined the Army in 2000 and served in Iraq in 2003 and 2006.
“He had been called back to active duty in October and was preparing for a third deployment,” Lott said.
She said Saturday afternoon that her brother was in stable condition in a Texas hospital.
Lott said her family appreciates all of the thoughts and support from the community.
The only other victim of the shooting spree with known Idaho ties is George Stratton III, 18, of Post Falls, who was reported to have sustained a shoulder wound.”

“Survivors Say Fort Hood Gunman Shot the Wounded Again”
By EMILY FRIEDMAN and SARAH NETTER
Nov. 7, 2009
SNIPPET: “Survivors of the Fort Hood massacre described today how Major Nidal Malik Hasan allegedly gunned down unarmed soldiers, and then shot them again as they lay wounded on the floor.”
SNIPPET: “Bono told “Good Morning America” today that she initially thought the scene of Hasan standing up, praising Allah and starting to fire was a drill. She didn’t believe it was real even when she felt her own blood, she said.”

SNIPPET: “In his weekly address today, President Obama said the fact that U.S. soldiers were targeted made the attack was particularly heinous.”
