There have now been 4 people confirmed dead after the second shooting at Fort Hood in five years.
Pentagon sources tell CBS News that the Fort Hood shooter is a soldier — identified as 34-year-old Ivan Lopez — and that he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. CBS News reports that the shooting stemmed from a soldier dispute.
According to Fox News 14 people were wounded with injuries ranging from stable to very critical.
The shooting reportedly started between 4:25 and 4:30 central time and for several hours Fort Hood was in lockdown, and the nation didn't know the number of shooters or whether or the shooter(s) were terrorists.
While all this was unfolding, Obama was in Chicago for a pair of fund raisers.
Air Force One touched down at O'Hare Airport at 4:00 pm and the president was whisked off to his first scheduled stop at the Chicago Cut Steakhouse, where he attended a private roundtable discussion for the DNC. Reportedly 25 supporters paid up to $32,400 to attend that event.
Then he was off to a private residence in Lincoln Park where he attended a dinner reception where 55 supporters paid up to $10,000 to meet the president.
Obama was expected to leave Chicago for Washington DC at around 8:30 p.m.
He interrupted his event at the Chicago Cut Steakhouse to make a brief statement about the ongoing shooting incident.

I don’t think there’s anything that would keep him from golf or a fundraiser. It’s what he lives for.
When Hussein leaves office does he get to keep his unused campaign funds?
Maybe that is the reason for his continuous money grasping.

I remember the last shooting when he said “I wanna give a shout out to my friends here tonight....” before giving remarks about the first shooting. Day after Benghazi he went to Vegas for fundraising and tonight...2 fundraisers.

Rich 1 percenters giving money to dine with the “one”. Yet retarded liberal voters will continue to condemn the rich conservatives.
“Now, where the ketchup?”
I listened to his little speech up until the first “huh...”, which was about the third word. He’ll get a free pass like he always does but W is still getting dumped on for taking a few moments to digest 9/11 and calmly leave a classroom of little kids so as not to freak them out.
He’s a creep.
Who care about the military anyway? It was only a few dead soldiers. (sarc)
He’s just gotta keep that “free sh&t” (in this case money) coming in.

I know exactly how you feel. I have never felt hate like I do for him.
The events in Benghazi unfolded in the late afternoon in Washington. Obama had already punched out on the clock and was having fish tacos, he had a fundraiser the next day and needed to be fresh.
I bet it won't be an easy job.

Has Obama been to the Mudslide yet?
