I guess the story will soon unfold. I believe one of my cousin's son's (two Iraqi tour soldier) resides at that base.
Prayer up for the families of those that lost their lives.

Sounding more like premeditated murder, then some poor soldier snapping for whatever reason.

The knee jerk reaction of our whole system is wacked. The media was prayin’ and hopin’ it was a “home grown terrorist.” And you have a question that any journalist with a brain rather than propaganda would be asking concerning jihadists getting hold of uniforms.

Not sounding good at all. Multiple planned attacks on innocent American citizens by the looks of it.
