WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Associated Press is reporting that a source has told them the shooting suspect in Thursday's attacks on the Fort Hood Army Post in Texas is Maj. Malik Nadal Hasan, an Army mental health professional.
The attacks on Ft. Hood left 12 people dead and 31 wounded. Authorities killed the gunman, who is said to be Hasan, and apprehended two other soldiers suspected in the attack.
According to the AP, a defense official said Hasan was a mental health professionaleither an Army psychologist or psychiatrist. It's not known if he was treating people at the post.
The AP said that officials are trying to determine if Hasan was his birth name, or if he converted to the Islamic faith at some point in his life. He was believed to have been in his late 30s.
FOX News reports the soldier who was the gunman in the attacks is from Virginia, but they have not confirmed his name. They also report that the shooter was not happy about the prospect of being deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan.
According to Lt. Gen. Bob Cone at Fort Hood, the shooter used two handguns in the attacks at the Soldier Readiness Center on Thursday around 1:30 CDT. The gunman was then shot and killed by a civilian policeman.

I’ve never been to Texas, except Houston.
I just used mapquest.
see my post #35...
One thing that has concerned me for a long time is muslim physicians, pharmacists, etc. in our health system. For example, the VA hospitals are LOADED with muslim docs. A doctor could kill dozens of patients over a period of time without anyone noticing.
Recently there was a scandal in two VA hospitals where vets getting colonoscopies contracted hepatitis C and AIDS. How the hell is that accidental?
Its time for deep background investigations of muslims who want to have positions of trust in our society.
Kay Bailey said she believed the guy was originally from Jordan. Surprise surprise.
Thanks
Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth." In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, "with a first-class [Arabic] accent." The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada: "Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! I witness that there is no god but Allah I witness that there is no god but Allah I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... " According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim's complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.
Hummm
Apparently an MD is the chosen profession of Islamist.
Two involved in London plot etc.
In US it is an instant officer designation. THAT needs to stop.
Sure took the our people in Washington off of the headlines. Coincidence???
Hell FOX was reporting that minutes after it occurred. Total BS call it what it is a terrorist strike. Only an idiot would not see this and we are surrounded by idiots in the media. I do understand them not wanting to call it that but at the lest they should suggest it as a plausible option if the is greater than a 80% chance this is the case!
Come on guys, Islam is a peaceful religion. At least that’s what the terror apoligist tell me.
>>Why do we tolerate this in our country?<<
.
Because we are slowly being Islamicized with the full approval of our “Christian” congress critters.

Is Hasan dead or captured?
Wonder if he was a supporter financially?
This clown became a major without any previous indications that he was a psycho?

Dead at the scene.
