“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.”

SNIPPET: “An Army official confirmed that Hasan would have been deployed to Afghanistan later this month. Sources told ABC News that this would have been his first deployment.”

The stunner: Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a devout Muslim who reportedly made references to “Allah” during his shooting massacre at Fort Hood, apparently did not list a religious preference in his military personnel records.

Graduation ceremony goes forward while gunfire rages outside.

The college graduation ceremony Thursday in a Fort Hood auditorium next to the site of the mass shooting was less about pomp and more about circumstance.

At the back of the stage, a table held 134 diplomas for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees.

At the front of the stage, a man lay bleeding as military graduates in black gowns and mortarboards kneeled to give first aid.

A floodlit American flag stretched across the entire rear wall of the stage, a huge patriotic backdrop to an emergency drama that was never supposed to play in Howze Theater.

As the pop-pop-pop of gunfire continued outside, faculty members of 26 colleges represented at Fort Hood’s annual graduation ceremony went to doorways.

“Get in! Get in!” they shouted to bystanders, waving arms draped in academic robes to pull them indoors to safety.
