McClatchy picks up where Shep with his 'everyone is armed on a military base' line left off:
McClatchy: Gunmen with M-16s kill at least 7 at Fort Hood in Texas
Um, there doesn't appear to be a source on the M-16s. That means they could be AR-15s. Also, based on the media's record on firearm identification they wouldn't know a Red Ryder from a Barrett.
Some good news: KCEN is reporting that Ft. Hood emergency sirens have ceased.

Most of the time, this document seems to be their source of info:
