FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — Officials say a 13th person has died after a gunman opened fire yesterday afternoon at Texas' Fort Hood. Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a suspect in the mass shooting that wounded 30, is on a ventilator and unconscious after being shot four times. In the early chaos of the shooting, authorities believed they had killed the shooter.

FORT HOOD, Texas (AP) — As officials try to piece together what led to yesterday's shooting rampage at Texas' Fort Hood that left 13 dead, the FBI, local police and other agencies have searched the apartment of the Army psychiatrist suspected in the attack. Authorities had evacuated Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan's Killeen, Texas, apartment complex before the search. Officials haven't said what was found.

Here's more from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

"FORT HOOD, Texas — Military officials were starting Friday to piece together what may have pushed an Army psychiatrist trained to help soldiers in distress to turn on his comrades in a shooting rampage that killed 13 people and wounded 30 in Texas.

The suspected shooter, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, was on a ventilator and unconscious in a hospital after being shot four times during the shootings at the Army's sprawling Fort Hood, post officials said. In the early chaos after the shootings, authorities believed they had killed him, only to discover later that he had survived.

In Washington, a senior U.S. official said authorities at Fort Hood initially thought one of the victims who had been shot and killed was the shooter. The mistake resulted in a delay of several hours in identifying Hasan as the alleged assailant.

Authorities have not ruled out that Hasan was acting on behalf of some unidentified radical group, the official said. He would not say whether any evidence had come to light to support that theory."

“Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a suspect in the mass shooting that wounded 30, is on a ventilator and unconscious after being shot four times.”

I pray he recovers...So we can kill him.

Right! Done

He had been associated with a radical mosque in VA(his parents had gone there, at least), but I think he was probably just on a one-man jihad mission when he attacked the soldiers at Fort Hood.

My favorite headline about this so far is "Shooter's motive a mystery in Fort Hood killings." Good grief. We're already covering up for Islam.

If he wakes up, he’s going to claim he can’t remember a thing.

He’ll be declared innocent by reason of temporary insanity.

The female civilian cop who shot him four times and stopped the carnage is alive, although he shot her as well. She’s the real hero here and let’s hope Zero pins a medal on her....but don’t hold your breath.

How do you feel about waterboarding now, Obama? Think there's any info in his head we might need?

I think this means something. If it didn't, the media would be going out of its way to deny any association with radical Islam. We'll see. The "lone nut" theory may still triumph.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

The media is deliberately suppressing the FACT that this is death cult terrorism! Not a word!

Mass deportations.

[Dallas59]

It would be racism and there’s a possibility that Muslims would riot.../s

[malkee]

At some point after they released the two suspects they talked about a search for a third suspect. (not Hasan)

[Steely Tom]

Mass deportations.

To where? No other country will take these people.

Only conservatives seem concerned over how this was a hate crime. The rest of the “news” media will not look at the real issues. Just imagine though if a white Christian guy had done it. We all know the reaction that would have followed. “He was motivated by racism” and hate for certain leaders, they would have said. It would have been totally predictable.

[BigCinBigD]

I’m not sure that’s an option with the UCMJ.

800 nautical miles due West of Sunset beach would be a good place.

I am still too angry to make much sense of this--

When it was first broadcast, Sheppard Smith was on Fox with his self-indulgent PC persona and I could not stomach it. I flipped over to CNN and they were just about as bad. Since I live just south of Dallas and an hour & half north of Fort Hood, I watched local coverage.

In any breaking news event this day and time, the anchors and reporters are trying to be the star instead of reporting any facts or offering any intelligent information. They are ignorant of any weapons and love to harp on anything semiautomatic so they all just keep on repeating the wrong information or misinformation over and over again like a broken record.

Even this morning on "Fox & Friends," the coverage is still half-assed.

However, we now know who will be the first recipient of Obama’s power to pardon.
