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.”

SNIPPET: “Another Wisconsin native was also injured. Amber Bahr of Random Lake was shot in the back during the incident. She was helping a fellow soldier with his injury, not even knowing she had been hit.

She was a mental health specialist getting ready for a second tour of duty in Afghanistan. She was 29. Russell was a psychiatrist who joined the Army a few years ago. He was 51.”
