“At Least 7 Dead, 20 Wounded in Shootings at Ft. Hood in Texas”
Thursday, November 05, 2009

SNIPPET: “Lt. Col. Nathan Banks said two shooters were apparently involved. There is no word yet on who they were, nor on the identities of the dead.

The second incident took place at a theater on Ft. Hood, according to Banks”
SNIPPET: “The men were reportedly dressed in Army fatigues, but military officials couldn’t confirm that they were Army personnel.

Texas Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison said the shooting was a terrible tragedy for all of the military families affected.

She said the post is a processing center where soldiers are processed before going to Iraq or Afghanistan.”

SNIPPET: “KILLEEN, Texas (KXAN) - Seven are reported dead and 20 to 30 are wounded during shootings at Ft. Hood base in Killeen, Texas Thursday afternoon.

The shootings took place at the House Theater and at the Soldier Preparation Center. To fully understand the location of these buildings, look at this map. Ft. Hood is one of the largest military bases in the U.S., with 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers.”

SNIPPET: “One person is in custody, another is surrounded in a building at the post and a third suspect is still on the loose. A SWAT team is at the post, trying to contain the situation.

According to an inside source, one soldier felt it necessary to call his kids and parents just in case “he doesn’t come home” during the shooting. The same source said “bullets [were] flying everywhere.””

Fatigues just means they wanted to blend in up until they started firing.
